∙ 12y agoComputer technology was developed during World War II. In the 1960s, computers were already a necessity for university and government work. As they became smaller and more efficient, their use by smaller companies began to increase.
Computers came in a variety of sizes. Super computerswere room-sized and performed highly specialized tasks. Mainframes were also room-sized and provided centralized computing for the many remote terminals that were connected to it.
Mini computers, which were first introduced in 1965, could be as large as a piano or as small as a mini-fridge. They usually had several terminals connected to them, as well. Modems were also invented in early 1960.

These radios were called hybrid radios because they used both vacuum tubes and transistors.
