First Generation
The first generation computers were developed by using vacuum tube or thermionic valve machine. The input of this system was based on punched cards and paper tape; however, the output was displayed on printouts. -
Second Generation
During the late 1950s and 1960s, the interest in computer technology got fast, and the next generation of the computer, second, was introduced that replace vacuum tubes and used transistors. The computers made in the second generation were completely based upon transistors, not on vacuum tubes -
Third Generation
Third generation computers used the method of user interaction with keyboard and monitor and networked with an operation system. This allowed multitasking on a device to run more applications at a time. Computer become more user friendly as they became smaller and less expensive than their predecessors. -
Fourth Generation
The fourth generation of computers began with the use of microprocessors in computer systems. -
Fifth Generation
The period of fifth generation is 1980-till date. In the fifth generation, VLSI technology became ULSI (Ultra Large Scale Integration) technology, resulting in the production of microprocessor chips having ten million electronic components. -
Sixth Generation
The sixth generation of computers is the rearmost and most advanced stage of computer technology. The sixth generation of computers started around the time 2000 and is still ongoing. -
