ELECTRONIC

AGE
 ELECTRONIC
(between 1940) AGE
• A period in human history characterized
by the shift from traditional industry
that the industrial revolution brought
through industrialization to an economy
based on information computerization
(Deegan & Tanner, 2002)
• The invention of the transistor ushered
in the electronic age. People harnessed
the power of transistors that led to the
transistor radio, electronic circuits,
and the early computers.
 • In this age, long distance
communication became more
efficient.

• Electronic age began when electronic

equipment, including computers came
into use.
• Last period in I.C.T history. It started
in the 1940’s and continues up to the
present.

• The highlight of this period is focused

on the advent of solid state devices.
 1941: Konrad Zuse

Built the first programmable

computer called the Z3, capable of
following instructions.
Z3- was the first fully functional, PROGRAM CONTROLLED computer
of the world.
ELECTRONIC NUMERICAL
INTEGRATOR AND COMPUTER

• First electronic and general purpose

computer
• Marked a revolutionary period in
computing
• Big machine
• Processing speed was slower than
others
ENIAC, circa 1946

3 4 Period
Late Vacuum Tubes
• First generation computer had vacuum
tubes, resistors, and welded metal
joints. They were large, slow,
expensive, and produced a lot of heat.
• Often broke down because of burned-
out vacuum tubes.
Late Vacuum Tubes
• Also needed many experts to operate
them.

• When running these computer,

people stood by shopping carts full
of replacement of vacuum tubes.
TRANSISTORS
• was invented in 1947
• Electronic device
• Lightweight and faster
• Foundation of every
electronic device
• First full transistor
computer
 Integrated Circuits
• Group of transistors and circuit
elements
• Revolutionized the use of computers
and electronic devices
• Faster operating speed
• Graphical User Interface (GCI)

American electrical engineer who

took part in the realization of the
first integrated circuit while
working at Texas instruments in
1958.
Computer Processor
• Fast-paced development and
innovation in personal
computing
• Productivity
• Entertainment
• Communication
• World Wide Web
