1st generation of computers
The vacun tube is a wire used to carry a data in the form of alectronic signals. They were very large, expensive and required huge amounts of electricity. The eniac was a first generation computer. -
2nd generation of computers
The second generation of computers used translators instead of vacum tubes. -
3rd generation of computers
An integrated circuit (IC) is a small as a translator, but it can work as fast as thousand of theme.
Integrated circuits made computers faster, cheaper and smaller than the second generation computers. -
4th generation of computers
He computers developed since 1975 up to the present are called the fourth generation computers.
The fourth generation computers use microprocesors, thet consist of a small silicon chip on which thousands of circuits are placed.
The fourth generation computers are smaller, portable and cheaper, they use tess electricity and produce less heat. -
5th generation of computers
They are the most advanced computers.
Scientist are now trying to develop fifth generation computers in a way that they canon their own this is called artificial intelligence (all robots work in this technology).
