The devices could do most of the calculation work by itself
The earliest calculating devices include the abacus, which dates back to ancient times and was used by various civilizations, including the Sumerians and Egyptians. Another early device is the tally stick, used for counting and record-keeping. The Antikythera mechanism, an ancient Greek analog computer from around 150-100 BCE, is also notable for its complex gears and ability to predict astronomical positions. These devices laid the groundwork for the development of more sophisticated calculating tools throughout history.
The earliest recorded calculating device is the abacus. Used as a simple computing device for performing arithmetic, the abacus most likely appeared first in Babylonia (now Iraq) over 5000 years ago.
The device used for calculating and processing data in a computer system is known as the Central Processing Unit, or CPU for short.

Explain various storage devices and their characteristics?
because that's all they had but now we have didital ones that are better
Not as we now know them. There were, however, devices for calculating and then there was the human brain ...
