FIRST GENERATION

COMPUTER
1) In 1946, the first computer was made
with a vacuum tube.

2) The first generation computers were


developed by using vacuum tube or
thermionic valve machine

3) Therefore the first generation computer


is also called vacuum tube computers

4) Therefore, they were very expensive


and only large organizations were able to
afford it.
SECOND
GENERATION
COMPUTER
1) The second generation computers were
used during 1957-1963.

2) They are also known as transistor


computers.

3) The second generation of computers


consists of two types of devices, transistors,
and magnetic core.

4) The transistors helped to develop a better


computer than the first generation
computers consisting of vacuum tubes.
THIRD
GENERATION
COMPUTER
1) The third generation computer was started
in 1965 and ended around 1971.

2) Third generation computers start using


integrated circuits instead of transistors.

3) The integrated circuit (IC) is a


semiconductor material, that contains
thousands of transistors miniaturized in it.

4) As compared to previous generations, the


third generation computers were more
reliable, fast, efficient, less expensive, and
smaller in size.
FOURTH
GENERATION
COMPUTER
1) The period 1972 to 2010 is roughly
considered as the fourth generation of
computers.

2) The fourth generation computers were


developed by using microprocessor
technology.

3) These had millions of transistors and


other electronic parts on a single chip.

4) The fourth generation computers have


much greater computing power and storage
space.
FIFTH
GENERATION
COMPUTER
1) In 1982, Japan was invented the FGCS
(Fifth Generation Computer System).

2) Computers of this generation are based on


microelectronic technology with high
computing power and parallel processing.

3) This is the most recent and technologically


advanced computer generation.

4) Fifth-generation computers, also known


as modern computers, are still in the
development stage and are based on artificial
intelligence.
