ENIAC was one of the earliest computers built using vacuum tubes.

Size and power consumption were significant drawbacks of vacuum tube computers.

Limited storage capacity and slow access times were drawbacks of magnetic drums.

Smaller, more reliable, and consumed less power than vacuum tubes.

Led to the development of smaller and faster computers.

Improved storage capacity and access times compared to magnetic drums.

Used in mainframe computers and early minicomputers.

Allowed for the miniaturization of electronic components.

Led to the development of smaller and more powerful computers.

Allowed multiple users to access a computer simultaneously.

Increased efficiency and utilization of resources.

Integrated all the functions of a CPU onto a single chip.

Led to the development of personal computers (PCs).

Made computers more accessible to nontechnical users.

Enabled the use of icons, windows, and menus for interaction.
