Generations of Computers

 First Generation of computers (1946- 1959)

 Second Generation of computers (1959-1965)
 Third Generation of computers (1965-1972)
 Fourth Generation of computers ( 1972-1980)
 Fifth Generation of computers(1982- Present)
First Generation of Computers:

 The first generation of computer is introduced in

1946. Whereas, the first generation used vacuum tubes
as the CPU and magnetic drum for storing the data. The
size of the computer in this generation is larger like room
size and limited to basic operation.

 the first generation computer uses the punch cards,

magnetic tape, paper tape for entering the input, and
storing output and data.

 Examples of first generation computer are ENIAC,

UNIVAC, EDSAC, and EDVAC.
Second Generation of Computers:

 he Second Generation of Computer uses the transistor

in the place of vacuum tubes. The transistor was
developed in Bell Labs in 1947, but introduced in
computers 1950’s.

 it is more reliable, faster, cheaper and smaller in size

than the first generation of computers.

 it uses the high-level of computer languages by

taking the input such as COBOL, FORTRAN, etc.
 Third Generation of Computers:

 The second generation of computers uses the transistors in the

place of vacuum tubes. But, the transistor produces the big amount
of heat which damages sensitive parts in the computers. To
eliminate this problem, the Third Generation of Computer
introduced

 these computers differ from first and generation of computers and

it uses the IC (Integrated Cricut).

 By inventing the IC’s in the third generation, it became possible to

fit thousands of elements in a small area to create the computer.
Additionally, it reduces the size of the computer in a small size.

 The third generation of computers is the IBM-360 series, PDP

(Personal Data Processor), Honeywell-6000 series, and IBM-
370/168.
 Fourth Generation of Computers:

 The Fourth Generation of Computers are comes with VLSI

(Very Large Scale Technology) also we can call it as
microprocessors.

 , the Intel was the first company to introduce the

microprocessor and firstly, design the PC or
personal computer in this generation by IBM

 This generation of computers allows users to use the

computer for word processing, spreadsheets, file managing
and graphics.

 Examples of this generation computer are STAR 1000, CRAY-

X-MP (Super Computer), PDP 11, DEC 10, and CRAY-1.
Microprocessor
Fifth Generation of Computers:

 these generation computers use the high level of

languages like Perl, Python, C, JAVA, etc.

 the Ultra Large Scale Integration technology was

introduced in 5th generation computers which leads to
the development of a microprocessor chip with several
millions of chips on it.

 The new operating systems are developed MS Window,

Linux and Linux based components are developed.

 Example of fifth generation computers are Notebook,

Laptop, Desktop, Ultra book, Chrome book, and many
more
AI Based Computer
Sixth Generation of Computers:

 These computers are called intelligent computers based on

artificial intelligence or artificial brains.

 it uses the semiconductors as the raw material to its

processors.

 the sixth generation introduces the voice recognization

which takes dictation and recognizes the words. By using the
voice recognization, you can search and send the messages
quickly and easily.

 it helps to prevent the many of world’s spy network

problems, and also it can determine the actions occurring
high volatile parts of the world.
