Generation of Computer

The document describes the first and second generations of computers. The first generation used vacuum tubes for processing, performed batch processing in machine language, and were bulky, slow, and energy inefficient. The second generation was faster than the first, used transistors instead of vacuum tubes, could run multiple programs at once using assembly language and operating systems, and consumed less power.
