First generations of computer?
Vacuum tube, roughly from 1940s to 1958.
What are the elements of a vacuum tube?
A vacuum tube is simply a tube with no oxygen nor carbon dioxide in it (aka no air).
When was the first IMB Home Computer invented?
The IBM 701 vacuum tube computer was announced May 21, 1952. It had 2K words 36 bits long (~9K bytes) of Williams Tube CRT DRAM.
How many KB is a vacuum tube?
Kilobytes and vacuum tubes are not in the same category. At best, a twin triode vacuum tube is a single flip-flop and can hold 1 bit of information, making a vacuum tube about 0.000122 of a kilobyte.
