EVALUTION OF COMPUTER….

EVALUATION OF COMPUTER…

 The history of computer can be traced back to 2700 BC in

different civilization such as Sumerian, Roman and Chinese
which made use of Abacus for mathematical calculations.
 In 1620 William Oughtred invented the slide rule that based on
the principal of logrithams. Then 1624 blaise pascal invented the
mechanical calculating machine. Numbers were entered in the
machine by dialing a series of numbered wheels.
 And in 1671 Gottfried von Leibnitz invented a calculating
machine which was able to add and performs multiplications.
MODERAN ERA….
 It consist of generations:-
 The first generation of computer
 The second generation of computer
 The third generation of computer
 The fourth generation of computer
 The fifth generation of computer
FIRST GENERATION...
 The first computer were designed by Charles babbage in the
mid 1800s. These early computers were never completed
during babbage’s life but their complete design were
preserved. After world war 2 there was need for advanced
calculations. Then J.P.Eckert and J.W Mauchy invented the
first successful electronic computer called ENIAC.
 And in 1951 UNIVAC First digital computer were produce.
 It consist of vacuum tubes. Electronic tube about the size of
tube bulb.
 CON…..

It is vacuum tube.
ADVANTAGES…….
 Vacuum tube were the only components during those
days.
 These computers could calculate data in million
seconds.
 Ability to operate at high power.
DISADVANTAGES…..
 Very large in size.
 Consumed large amount of energy.
 Heated very soon due to thousand of vacuum tubes.
 Not very reliable.
 Air conditioning was required.
 Non-portable.
 Costly commercial production.
 Very slow speed.
 Used machine language only
 Used punch cards for input
 SECOND GENERATION OF
COMPUTER….
 A transistor computer often called second generation computer it
used transistor instead of vacuum tube. A transistor is a
semiconductor device used to amplify and switch electronic signals
and power.
 It is transistor.
ADVANTAGES…
 Smaller in size as compared to first generation
computers.
 More reliable.
 Used less energy and were not heated.
 Better portability.
 Better speed and could calculate data in microseconds.
 Accuracy improved
DISADVANTAGES….
 Air Conditioning was required.
 High sophisticated technology required for the
manufacturing of IC chips.
