Detailed explanation-1: -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-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 solid-state device which operates most like the pentode tube is the junction field-effect transistor (JFET), although vacuum tubes typically operate at over a hundred volts, unlike most semiconductors in most applications.
Detailed explanation-4: -Vacuum tube technology was used in first-generation computers. First-generation computers have both advantages and disadvantages. Although these computers were huge, produced heat, required a cooling system, consumed a lot of electricity, they helped start the era of computing technology.
Detailed explanation-5: -In the history of computing hardware, computers using vacuum tubes were called the first generation; transistors and diodes, the second; integrated circuits, the third; and those using microprocessors, the fourth.
