1st tipe of computers
the vacun tube is a wire used to carry a data in the form of alectronic signals. they were very large, expensive and required huge amounts of electricity. The eniac was a first generation computer -
2nd generation computers
the second generation of computers used translators instead of vacum tubes -
3rd generation computers
an integrated circuit (IC) is a small as a translator but it can work as fast as thousand of theme.
integrated circuits made computers faster, cheaper, and smaller than the second generation computers -
4th generation computers
the computers developed since 1975 up to the present are called the fourth generation computers.
the fourth generation computers use microprocesors, thet consist of a small silicon chip on which thousands of circuits are placed.
the fourth generation computers are smaller, portable and cheaper, they use tess electricity and produce less heat -
5th generation computers
they are the most advanced computers.
scientist are now trying to develop fifth generation computers in a way that they canon their own this is called artificial intelligence (all robots work in this technology)
