True or False: The first generation of computers utilized microprocessors.

The statement is false because the first generation of computers did not utilize microprocessors; they were built using vacuum tubes and magnetic drums as their primary technology. This generation, which spanned from the 1940s to the mid-1950s, is characterized by its enormous size and power consumption, as well as the complexity of circuitry that relied heavily on vacuum tubes. Microprocessors, representing a significant advancement in computing technology, were first introduced in the early 1970s as part of the fourth generation of computers, where integrated circuits replaced the vacuum tubes that had dominated earlier generations. Thus, it is accurate to state that microprocessors were not a feature of first-generation computers.
