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.
