The correct response is:
They used bulky vacuum tubes.
Early computers were much larger primarily because they relied on vacuum tubes for processing and memory, which took up a lot of physical space. As technology progressed, transistors were developed, which are much smaller and more efficient, allowing computers to shrink in size.
