The world's first programmable computer of the history
1936, Konrad Zuse, German engineer, design and made the Z1, which for many is the first programmable computer in history. The Z1 was a binary mechanical calculator operated with electricity and that occupied a whole table, quite large by the way. -
Second Generation 1958-1964
n this generation, computers are reduced in size and are less expensive. Many companies appear and computers were quite advanced for their time as the 5000 series of Burroughs and the ATLAS of the University of Manchester. Some computers were programmed with perforated tape and others by wiring on a board. -
Third Generation 1964-1971
Third-generation computers emerged with the development of integrated circuits (silicon wafers) in which thousands of electronic components are placed, in a miniature integration. -
Fourth Generation 1971-1980
Fourth generation computers use very large integrated circuits (VLSI). VLSI circuits having about 5000 transistors and other circuit elements and their associated circuits on a single chip made it possible to have fourth generation microprocessors. Fourth generation of computers became the most powerful, compact, reliable and affordable. As a result, it resulted in the revolution of the personal computer (PC). -
Fifth Generation 1982-1989
Fifth generation of computers. Considering the technological advances in the area of computing and computing, some dates and characteristics of what is called the fifth generation of computers could be specified, which extended from 1982 to 1989. -
Six Generation 1999
The sixth generation of computers could be called the age of computers based on artificial neural networks or "artificial brains". They are computers that use superconductors as raw material for their processors, which allows them not to waste electricity in heat due to their null resistance, gaining performance and saving energy. The performance gain is approximately 30 times that of a processor of the same frequency that uses common metals for its operation. -
Seventh Generation 1999-2010
The 7th generation began in 1999, when LCD 2 flat screens became popular and aside from cathode rays, where DVDs and optical hard disk formats were left.The new generation of high density data storage with a storage capacity that reaches 50 GB, although it has been confirmed that this list can receive 16 layers of 400 GB. -
Eighth Generation 2010-Actually
The physical and mechanical devices will disappear bone hard drive and motherboards etc. Everything will be based on nanotechnology. A hard drive is limited in speed by having to write on plates.
