History of computers

  • Period: to

    The electricity

    The electricity was invented in 1879.
  • Period: to

    First generation

    The first generation were created between 1942-1955 and used vacuum tubers, for example: ENIAC.
  • ENIAC

    It weighed 27 tons. It occupied a voom of 167m2 and worked with 17.500 vacuum tubers which could raise the room temperature up to 50ºC.
  • Period: to

    Second generation

    The second generation of computers were created between 1956-1964. They used transistors and they were smaller and cheaper.
  • Period: to

    Third generation

    The third generation computers were created between 1965-1975 and used integrated circuits which works like a hundred of transitors , but are faster and uses less electricity.
  • Period: to

    Fourth generation

    The fourth generation of computers were created between 1975 and the present. Uses microproccesors to procces the information faster. They are smaller and pproduce less heat.
  • Period: to

    Fifth generation

    The fifth generation will be created in the future and instead of humans, they will use AI (Artificial Inteligence)
