 Vacuum tube computers

Vacuum tube computers are early computers that used vacuum tubes as their primary electronic components for processing and storing information. These devices were among the first electronic computers developed and were dominant from the late 1940s to the mid-1950s. ### Key Characteristics of Vacuum Tube Computers: 1. **Vacuum Tubes**: Vacuum tubes function as switches or amplifiers. They control the flow of electric current and allow for the creation of binary logic needed for computation.
