Generation of Computers
First Generation
First Generation
Time Period: 1941 to 1959
Size: Very Large System

Processing: Very slow
Second Generation
Second Generation
Time Period: 1959 to 1963
Technology: Transistors
Size: Smaller
Processing: Faster
Third Generation
Third Generation
Time Period: 1963 to 1975
Technology: ICs ( integrated Circuits) incorporated many transistors & electronic circuits on a single chip
Size: Small as compared to 2nd generation computers
Processing: Faster than 2nd generation computers
Fourth Generation
Fourth Generation
Time Period: 1971-1980
computers of fourth generation used very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits
VLSI circuits having about 5000 transistors and other circuit elements with their associated circuits on a single chip made it possible to have microcomputers of fourth generation.
Fifth Generation
Fifth Generation
AI- artificial intelligence software and parallel processing hardware
VLSI technology become ULSI ( ultra large scale integration technology)
Computer
an electronic device for storing and processing data, typically in binary form, according to introductions given to it in a variable program.
Multimedia and ICT
Videos- Through video hosting sites, you can take a video and show it to the entire world.
Sound, Music or Audio- if videos are too much for you, you can always record sounds. you can share your sound bites to the entire world.
