This video explores the origins and hardware of the first generation of computers. These machines were essential in the first half of the 20th century for a variety of tasks. The first generation of computers was characterized by their use of vacuum tubes for both calculation and storage, and their slow processing speeds.

• 00:00:00 The first generation of computers was characterized by their use of vacuum tubes for both calculation and storage, and their slow processing speeds.
• 00:05:00 The first generation of computers used large, expensive machines that were very hot and often broke. Programming in machine language was very cumbersome, so it was only done by experts. The hardware for these computers included thousands of vacuum tubes and connection panels.
• 00:10:00 This video explores the origins and hardware of early computers, including the ENIAC and UNIVAC. These machines were essential in the first half of the 20th century, as they were used to make televisions, radars, X-ray machines, and a wide variety of other electronic devices. Vacuum tubes started and ended circuits by turning on and off, and technicians manually punched cards with holes with typewriters, computers, and punch card readers. The first general-purpose operational electronic computer, called ENIAC, was built in the United States between 1943 and 1945 and used 18,000 vacuum tubes and 70,000 resistors. It was the first large-scale computer that worked electronically and was 1000 times faster than previous electromechanical computers. The EDSAC computer was developed in Great Britain and became the first non-experimental stored-program computer in 1949. It used mercury delay line memory, which provided memory for many first-generation computers. The ACE Pilot Model computer was completed by British mathematician Alan Turing in 1950 and was in normal operation for five years. The UNIVAC computer was the first computer designed for commercial and non-military use and was given to a commercial client, the United States Census Bureau, in 1951 to count
