Let’s explore the fascinating journey of computer generations, from their humble beginnings to the cutting-edge technology we have today

Each generation brought remarkable advancements, shaping the way we compute and interact with technology.

1. GENERATIONS OF COMPUTER NITISH RAI 2017MB27

2. ABOUT COMPUTERS Generation in computer terminology is a change in technology a computer is being used. Initially, the generation term was use to distinguish between varying hardware technologies. But nowadays, generation includes both hardware & software, which together make a entire computer system.

3. FIRST GENERATION: VACUM TUBES (1940-1956) SIZE – Very large system Technology – Vacuum Tubes Processing – Very Slow Magnetic Drums Magnetic Tapes Difficult to program Used machine language and assembly language

4. SECOND GENERATION COMPUTER (1956-1963) Size : Smaller Technology : Transistors Processing : Faster Magnetic Cores Magnetic Disk Used high level language Easier to program

5. THIRD GENERATION COMPUTER (1963-1975) Technology : Integrated Circuits (Incorporated many transistors and electronics circuits on a single chip) Size : Small as compared to 2 nd generation computers Processing : Faster than 2 nd generation computers Minicomputers accessible by multiple users from remote terminals

6. Fourth Generation Computer (1975-) Technology : Very Large Scale Integration (Incorporated many millions of transistors and electronics circuits in a single chip) Size : Small as compared to first generation computer Processing : Faster than the first generation computer The personal computer and user friendly microprogram , very fast processor chip high level language , OOP (Object Oriented Programming).

7. Fifth Generation Computer (Present and beyond technology) Technology : AI (Artificial Intelligence) Size : Compact than the previous generation. Processing : Faster than the previous generation. Goal : Computing to develop to devices that respond to natural language input and are capable of learning and self organization.
