Period: to
First Generation
This generations is characterized because of those computers used bulbs to process the information. They were very big and they got very hot. Eckert and Mauchly made a private company and the made the UNIVAC 1 -
Period: to
Second Generation
In this generation they used transitors, this made them smaller and got less cold. They were used to save data about accounting and inventories. -
Period: to
Third Generation
This generation started with the invention of the integrated circuit (Chip), the made them faster, colder and smaller. An example of this computer is the IBM360 that was selled with programs more flexible to work in mathematics and bussines. They were made about 30.000 -
Period: to
Fourth Generation
They did the memories with silicon chips and more components in them. -
Period: to
Fifth Generation
Here the computers become to have 2 or more CPU, and had the hability to work all at the same time. This was possible thaks to the artificial intelligence that invent a Japanesse company. -
Period: to
Sixth Generation
This computers, that are the ones which we use have houndreds of vectorial microCPU that are able to make millions of millions aritmethic operations in seconds. Also we have a lot of WAN's, enormous satelites, artificial intelligence, holographies, optical fiber
