Early computers were expensive and large primarily due to the high cost of components such as vacuum tubes and transistors, which were used for processing data. Additionally, the manufacturing processes required to build these computers were complex and labor-intensive, further driving up costs. The size of early computers was necessary to accommodate the large number of components and the need for adequate cooling systems to prevent overheating.
Almost all the early computers were large.
Most early computers were very large cabinets or many 19 inch relay racks packed full of vacuum tube electronics.
Super Computer
As with all computers early mainframes did not multitask (early microcomputers did not multitask, early minicomputers did not multitask, early supercomputers did not multitask). Now almost all computers multitask. Multitasking has nothing to do with the size of a computer, it is almost entirely a software feature of the OS running on the computer.
About the same as today, but they were too expensive for individuals to buy.
Almost all the early computers were large.
An early computer would be extremly large. Its whole length would be roughly 30 to 40ft long and at least 10ft tall
No the first computer was meant for calculations and was extremely difficult to use, expensive, and large. It also did not have the GUI that you know of today.
The same time as the early computers. They were large because their components (vacuum tubes) were large, not because they could handle large problems.
The plural of computer is computersand the plural of is is are, e.g. the computer is expensive: the computers are expensive.
The answer you're looking for is... mainframe
Which of the following are large, expensive, powerful computers that can handle hundreds or thousands of connected users simultaneously and store tremendous amounts of data, instructions, and information? MAIN FRAMES
There are no records for the most expensive computer desk in the world. A computer desk price or value can be very expensive if it is a custom made piece of luxury furniture.
Labor costs at most computer stores are quite expensive, you are better off finding a computer savvy friend to do it for you.
The most expensive computer is made in Japan. It is an Earth simulator costing over $400,000,000, which makes it the most expensive computer ever built.This very expensive computer is used for a variety of international projects. Most are related to atmospheric, climate, and oceanographic simulation.
This has varied widely. The early ones in the 1970s were quite slow, most current ones are faster than the most expensive supercomputers of the 1960s.
it is nothing but only the different arrivals or development of computers..... that is in older days the computer is an instrument which is very expensive & even large in size ....... but now a days it is much more simpler ...... thus evalution of computer is a greater achivement among the scientist......
