Detailed explanation-1: -The ENIAC was the first operational electronic general-purpose computer, which stands for Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer. In ENIAC, 18000 vacuum tubes were used to build it in 1943.
Detailed explanation-2: -The ENIAC. The Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer, also known as the ENIAC, was the first computer that would use the vacuum tube.
Detailed explanation-3: -The period of first generation was from 1946-1959. The computers of first generation used vacuum tubes as the basic components for memory and circuitry for CPU (Central Processing Unit). These tubes, like electric bulbs, produced a lot of heat and the installations used to fuse frequently.
Detailed explanation-4: -1904: British engineer John Ambrose Fleming invents and patents the thermionic valve, the first vacuum tube. With this advance, the age of modern wireless electronics is born.
