Evolution of Computers
let's dive into the fascinating story of how computers evolved over time.
In the mid-20th century, the very concept of a computer was associated with massive machines that filled entire rooms. These early computers were behemoths, utilizing vacuum tubes as their fundamental components. These vacuum tubes were bulky, power-hungry, and prone to failures, making the machines unreliable and requiring extensive cooling systems. Nonetheless, they were groundbreaking in their ability to perform complex calculations and simulations for scientific research, weather prediction, and military applications.
