In the 1960s, computers were large and expensive machines that were mainly used by government agencies, large corporations, and universities. They were often housed in dedicated computer rooms and required specialized training to operate. These computers used vacuum tubes and punch cards for processing data and had limited storage capacity compared to modern computers. Programming was done in languages like Fortran and COBOL, and tasks were often batch processed, meaning that users had to wait for their programs to be run on the computer before receiving the results. Overall, computers in the 1960s were slow, cumbersome, and less user-friendly than the computers we have today.
