the first computer
the first computer was made -
Period: to
the first "update"
Major improvements were made with the computer using circuit boards instead of vacuum tubes -
Period: to
the transistor upgrade
transistors were upgraded to integrated circuits that contained many transistors,capacitors,and circuits -
Period: to
bigger integrated circuits
bigger integrated circuits called VLSI circuits contained 5000 transistors and other circuit elements -
Period: to
present day computers
VLSI circuits became ULSI circuits and it resulted in microprocessor chips being made that contained tens of millions of electronic components. This generation is also based on parallel processing hardware and Artificial intelligence.
