Evolution of Computer Generation Evolution from First to Fifth Generation
Contents Introduction First Generation Computer Second Generation Computer Third Generation Computer Fourth Generation Computer Fifth Generation Computer Summary
Introduction Computers have evolved through five generations. Each generation represents advancements in technology, size, speed and efficiency.
First Generation (1940-1956) Technology Used: Vaccum Tubes Memory: Magnetic Drums Characteristics : Very large in size Consumed lot of power Slow processing Examples : ENIAC, UNIVAC
Second Generation(1956-1963) Technology Used : Transistors Memory: Magnetic Core Characteristics : Smaller and more efficient than first-gen Faster processing speed Used in business and scientific applications. Examples: IBM 7090, UNIVAC II
Third Generation(1964 – 1971) Technology : Intergrated Circuits (ICs ) Memory: Semiconductor Memory Characteristics : More reliable and faster Smaller and cheaper Used in government,business , and industry Example: IBM 360, PDP -8
Fourth Generation (1971 -1990) Technology : Micro Processors Memory: Ram & Hard disks Charecteristics : Personal Computers (PCs) became common Faster and more efficient processors Revolutionized communication and daily life. Example: Intel 4004, Apple II, IBM PC
Fifth Generation (1990 – Present) Technology : Artificial Intelligence(AI) and Quantum Computing Memory: Advanced storage technologies Characteristics : Focus on AI, Machine Learning, and Robotics Ultra fast processing More human-like interaction with computers Examples: Super computers, Quantum computers
Summary Computers have evolved significantly over the years. Each generation has brought major technological improvements. Future generation will bring even more exciting innovations.
