dec 23, 1944 - 1st generation computer era

Description:

Early computers used magnetic drums and tapes for main memory and relied on machine language for programming. They consumed a lot of electricity, generated substantial heat, and were very large, often filling entire rooms. Input and output were managed through punched cards and paper tape. Notable examples include the ENIAC, UNIVAC I, IBM 650, and IBM 701.
