    ENIAC aka 1st Gen
    The ENIAC was invented by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly at the University of Pennsylvania and began construction in 1943 and was not completed until 1946. And t occupied about 1,800 square feet and used about 18,000 vacuum tubes, weighing almost 50 tons. It was more of one big calculator without an os.

    GM-NAA I/O aka 2nd Gen
    GM-NAA I/O, produced in 1956 by General Motors was made and IBM the keyboard company and yes computer company made the first computer with an os. The reason this is the first computer and not the ones that are all the way so old the ones that like they have a bunch of lines around them aren't consider to be computers is because they don't have an os (Operating System).
  • The IC 3/4 Gen

    The IC 3/4 Gen
    The third generation was from 1965-1971. The computers of third generation used Integrated Circuits in place of transistors. A single IC has many transistors, resistors, and capacitors along with the associated circuitry The IC was invented by Jack Kilby Integrated circuit , also called microelectronic circuit, microchip, or chip, an assembly of electronic components in which miniaturized active devices. And plus the US Government used this for the Military These was known as the 4th Genoration
  • The 5th Generation of Computers

    The 5th Generation of Computers
    The 5th Generation of Computer runs from 1972 to present day. As many of you know computers have a proccesor/micropocessor the to receive input and get the right output to help everything else run somethy. But in 5th Generation of Computers is where we steped up our game. Now days you can see multiple cores which means you do multiple things on the cpu and it can be faster AMD Ryzen 9 5950X DirectX 12.00 meaning but this is more an overkill gaming processors their will be a processor for you.
  • The First Known Server

    The First Known Server
    The First Server was created in late 1990 by a man named Tim Berners-Lee who also had the first Web server and browser up and running at CERN which is a typed based off scientific linux os. He developed the code for his Web server on a NeXT computer. To prevent it being accidentally switched off, the computer had a hand-written label in red ink:
  • One of Biggest Computer Virus known to Man

    One of Biggest Computer Virus known to Man
    The Mydoom virus which hit windows pc and laptops around the day the 26th of January 2004 the reason it was found was because of Craig Schmugar an employee of computer security firm McAfee and one of the earliest discoverers of the worm. Mydoom Virus was a very damaging computer virus that affected Microsoft Windows-based computers. The worm was spread through mass emailing, disguised as badly sent email. It spread very quickly.

    The Future of Computers
    Global experts are now predicting that smartphones and tablets will increasingly replace desktop and laptop PCs and plus less than two years, your smartphone could be your only computer. Or maybe Over the next ten years, our machines will become even thinner and lighter, faster and more powerful taking up less space.
