Computer generations classified into five types

generation of computers

  • first generation

    first generation
    The first generation laptop was ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator).
  • second generation

    second generation
    The second generation of computers consists of two types of devices, transistors, and magnetic core. The transistors helped to develop a better computer than the first generation computers consisting of vacuum tubes.
  • 3rd generation

    3rd generation
    The period of third generation was from 1965-1971. The computers of third generation used Integrated Circuits These computers have magnetic storage.
  • 4th generation

    4th generation
    Fourth Generation of computers was between 1971 – 1980. These computers used the VLSI technology or the Very Large Scale Integrated technology
  • 5th generation

    5th generation
    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.
  • 6th generation

    6th generation
    Sophia is a realistic humanoid robot capable of displaying humanlike expressions and interacting with people. It's designed for research, education, and entertainment.
