Computer generations

Generations of Computers

  • First Generation

    First Generation
    First Computer -The first generation laptop was ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator). It had been the primary all-purpose electronic computer that is intended by William Mauchly and John Eckert
  • Second Generation

    Second Generation
    Second Computer - A transistor computer, now often called a second-generation computer, is a computer that uses discrete transistors instead of vacuum tubes.
  • Third Generation

    Third Generation
    Third-generation computers were computers that emerged due to the development of the integrated circuit. They were the first steps toward computers as we know them today. Their main feature was the use of integrated circuits, which allowed them to be shrunk down to be as small as large toasters.
  • Fourth Generation

    Fourth Generation
    These computers used the VLSI technology or the Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits technology. Therefore they were also known as the microprocessors.
  • Fifth Generation

    Fifth Generation
    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.
