ENIAC uses electron tubes as components, so it is also called electron tube computer, which is the first generation computer. Electron tube computers are bulky, consume high power, are prone to heat, and cannot work for long.

With the birth of the first generation of computers, computer technology and industry have been in a high-speed development stage. Computer science has become a subject with rapid development, strong penetration and far-reaching influence, and the computer industry has developed into a world strategic industry.
