First generation
This is the initial generation, which extends from 1940 to 1952. It begins with the invention of the first automatic calculating machines that we can begin to call "computer" properly. They were based on the electronics of vacuum tubes and valves. -
Second generation
It began in 1956 and lasted until 1964. The change from the first to this second generation was represented by the replacement of vacuum valves with transistors, making them much smaller and also reducing their electrical consumption. -
Third generations
From 1965 to 1971 this third generation extends, which was determined by the invention of integrated circuits. This revolutionary technology allowed to increase the processing capacity of the machines, at the same time that it reduced their manufacturing costs. -
Fourth generation
The fourth generation was manufactured between 1972 and 1980. The integration of electronic components soon led to the invention of the microprocessor, an integrated circuit that brings together all the fundamental elements of the machine and which was renamed the ch -
Fifth generation
This generation is the most recent, started in 1983 and is still in force today. Computing was greatly diversified, made portable, lightweight, and comfortable. Thanks to the Internet, it expanded its boundaries of use to limits never before suspecte
