Classic Computers
Classic computers refer to early computing machines that laid the foundation for modern technology. These devices, such as the ENIAC and IBM 701, were developed in the mid-20th century and used vacuum tubes and punch cards for processing and storage. They were primarily used for scientific calculations and military applications.
These computers were often large, occupying entire rooms, and required significant power to operate. Despite their limitations in speed and capacity compared to today’s devices, classic computers were groundbreaking innovations that paved the way for the development of more advanced systems, leading to the personal computers we use today.
