First Generations of Computer
The first computer was the Vacuum Tube Computer which was invented on November 16th, 1904 (according to Google) by the British engineer, John Ambrose Fleming. It is used as a switch, amplifier or display screen (CRT)(Cathore-Ray Tube). -
Second Generation of Computer
A transistor computer, now often called a second-generation computer, is a computer which uses discrete transistors instead of vacuum tubes (first generation of computers). It was made by Walter H. Brattain, John Bardeen and William B. The period of second generation was from 1959-1965. Transistors were used that were cheaper, consumed less power, more compact in size, more reliable and faster than the first generation machines. -
Third Generation of Computers
The third generation of computer is marked by the use of Integrated Circuits (IC's) in place of transistors (second generation of computers). A single I.C has many transistors, resistors and capacitors along with the associated circuitry. The I.C was invented by Jack Kilby in 1964 to 1971. With this generation of computers, this development made computers smaller in size, reliable and efficient. Their main feature was the use of integrated circuits, which allowed them to be shrunk down. -
Fourth Generation of Computers
Intel released the world's first single-chip microprocessor which was used for the computer. The 4004, on a single MOS LSI chip. Its development was led by Federico F. using silicon-gate MOS technology, along with Ted H. Stanley M. and Masatoshi S. Fourth generation computers became more powerful, compact, reliable, and affordable. As a result, it gave rise to Personal Computer (PC) revolution. In this generation, time sharing, real time networks, distributed operating system were used. -
Fourth Generation of Computers
Fourth Generation of Computers used Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits. VLSI circuits having about 5000 transistors and other circuit elements with their associated circuits on a single chip made it possible to have microcomputers of fourth generation. The period of fourth generation was from 1971-1980. -
Fifth Generation of Computer
The primary goal of the fifth generation is to create machines that can learn and organize themselves. Artificial intelligence and parallel processing hardware are at the heart of this generation of computers, and artificial intelligence encompasses terms like Robotics, Neural Networks, etc. -
Fifth Generation of Computers
The Fifth Generation Computer Systems (FGCS) was an initiative by Japan's Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI), begun in 1982, to create computers using massively parallel computing and logic programming. It was to be the result of a government/industry research project in Japan during the 1980s. -
Sixth Generation of Computers
The Sixth Generation of intelligent computers is different from other generation computers in terms of size, speed and tasks that perform. Today Intel Corporation introduced the 6th Generation. It uses the semiconductors as the raw material to its processors. The sixth generation is the present generation. In the Sixth generation, ULSI technology became UULSI Ultra2 Large Scale Integration technology, resulting in the production of microprocessor chips having ten million electronic components.
