It depends on how you define 1st generation.

The earliest computers were mechanical, and the size of a fairly large room. We then had electrical computers, like the Enigma encryption device, about the size of a large typewriter.

1st generation electronic devices were quite big - about 4 filing cabinets, with the first generation of 'home' computers being about the size we have now, but using CRT monitors.
