Question
how were computers in the 1950s and 1960s different from computers of today?
○ they were much smaller.
○ they were much faster.
○ they cost less money
○ they were bigger and slower.
1950s-1960s computers used vacuum tube/early transistor technology, making them physically large (often room-sized) with low processing speeds compared to modern compact, high-speed computers. The other options are incorrect: they were larger, slower, and extremely expensive (costing hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars, far more than most modern consumer computers).
