The ENIAC computer was made in the age of
(A) First generation computer
(B) Second generation computer
(C) Third generation computer
(D) None of the above
Solution
In order to solve this question, we are going to first know what the ENIAC computers are and when they were made, what was the computer age at that time when they were made and also the functioning and the structure parts of these types of the computer. This gives better understanding for the correct answer.
Complete answer:
The term ENIAC stands for Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer. They were built during the period. This period was the period when it was the age of the most significant generation of computers. This generation was the earliest one and made a huge impact on the digitalization and the modernization of the world. The computers of the first generation used vacuum tubes as the basic components for memory and circuitry for the CPU (Central Processing Unit). These tubes, like electric bulbs, produced a lot of heat and the installations used to fuse frequently.
Thus, The ENIAC computer was made in the age of the First generation computer. And the correct option is the option (A) First generation computer.
Note:
ENIAC was the first programmable, electronic and general purpose digital computer. The first generation computers used the vacuum tubes which was invented by Lee De Forest in. Although this discovery was way before the creation of the ENIAC computer but they were used in their core structure.
