Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vacuum tubes were the first electronic components used in computers. They were replaced by transistors, which were smaller and more efficient. Transistors were then replaced by integrated circuits, which combined many transistors onto a single chip. Microprocessors were the next major development, and they are essentially entire computers on a single chip. Personal computers were then created using microprocessors as their central processing unit. Therefore, the correct order is vacuum tubes, transistors, integrated circuits, microprocessors, and personal computers.
