FIRST GENERATION (1940-1950)
-
FIRST GENERATION (1940-1950)
The Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer (EDVAC) was one of the earliest large mainframe computers to be built in the 1940s. It was the first mainframe computer that represented binary systems rather than decimal systems. -
SECOND GENERATION (1950-1960)
-
SECOND GENERATION (1950-1960)
These computers were more reliable and in place of vacuum tubes, used transistors. This made them far more compact than the first generation computers. The input for these computers were higher level languages like COBOL, FORTRAN etc. -
THIRD GENERATION (1960)
-
THIRD GENERATION (1960)
The third generation computer was started in 1965 and ended around 1971. Third generation computers start using integrated circuits instead of transistors. The integrated circuit (IC) is a semiconductor material, that contains thousands of transistors miniaturized in it. -
FOURTH GENERATION (1970-1980)
-
FOURTH GENERATION (1970-1980)
Fourth Generation of computers was between 1971 – 1980. These computers used the VLSI technology or the Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits technology. Therefore they were also known as the microprocessors. Intel was the first company to develop a microprocessor. -
FIFTH GENERATION (2013-2014)
-
FIFTH GENERATION (2013-2014)
It is primarily based totally on Artificial intelligence (AI) software. Artificial intelligence describes the medium and manner of creating computer systems like people, the manner human thinks, the manner people act, etc. and that is a rising department and has all of the scopes for studies work too.
