HISTORY OF COMPUTERS

  • Period: to

    FIRST GENERATION

    the vacum tubes were the first form to curry data. the first generation were very large, expensive and requiere huge amounts of electricity. The ENIAC was the first computer
  • ENIAC

    ENIAC
    It was created in 1943 by the Americans John William Mauchly and John Presper Eckert, with the purpose of solving the ballistics problems of the United States Army; However, the construction of the machine was not finished until 1946.
  • Period: to

    SECOND GENERATION

    they used transitors instead of vacum tubes
  • Period: to

    THIRD GENERATION

    An integrated circuit(IC) is as small as a transistor but it can work as fast as thousand of them integrated circuits made computers, faster cheaper, and smaller than the second generation
  • Period: to

    FOURTH GENERATION

    Use microprocessors
    the microprocessors consists of a small silicon chip on which thousands of circuits are placed Are smaller, portable and cheaper. They use less electricity and produces less heat
  • Period: to

    FIFTH GENERATION

    NOWADAYS SCIENTIST ARE TRYING TO CRATE COMPUTERS THAT THEY CAN THINK ON THEIR OWN:ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
