Imagine a room full of giant machines, like the size of a car. These early computers could do math super fast, but they were very slow by today's standards. They helped scientists and engineers solve problems that no one else could, and this started us on a path to the technology we use every day.
Examples
- A giant computer helped break enemy codes during war.
- The first computers were so big they needed their own rooms.
- They could only do one calculation at a time.
