    The document discusses the five generations of computers. The first generation used vacuum tubes and were large, slow, and consumed significant power. The second generation used transistors, which reduced the size and increased the speed over vacuum tubes. The third generation used integrated circuits, which were faster and could perform more calculations than previous generations. The fourth generation used microprocessors and were the fastest yet, performing thousands of calculations per second quickly and affordably. The fifth generation aims to incorporate artificial intelligence and human-like characteristics in computers and robots.

    1) First generation:
    This generation consists of vacuum tubes. They
    were 10 feet tall and weighed 100 tons. They were
    4) Fourth generation:
    too slow.
    This generation consists of microprocessors. It
    2) Second generation: was the fastest generation which is completely
    discovered yet. It can perform thousands of
    This generation consists of transistors. This calculations in less than a second. They are
    generation reduced the size of computer a lot. affordable and easy to use.
    Moreover they were quite fast as compared to
    that of vacuum tubes. These transistors were 5) Fifth generation:
    integrated on processors. This generation is also known as Artificial
    intelligence. It is yet being discovered and
    3) Third generation: consists of human characteristics in computers
    This generation was actually based on and robots.
    integrated circuits (oftenly known as IC) These
    integrated on processors. This generation of
    computer was quite fast and could perform
    large calculations in less time as compared to
    first and second generation. They are easily
    updated.
