GENARATION OF A COMPUTER

Super computer
► First Generation Computers were working during the
1940-1956 with proper maintenance of Vacuum Tubes
on those computers. Vacuum Tubes most useful to
process the data in memory. First generation
computers use more power from electricity and that
produce high heat. Those devices vulnerable to the
attacks and get malfunctions. First generation
computers perform several operations bit those take
more time due to the simple programming skills.
Those types of computers take the input from
punched cads and give output to the users on
screens. The UNIVAC was the first commercial
computer design with vacuums tubes in first
generation in U.S that developed to use at U.S.
census Bureau.
Mainframe Computer
Second Generation Computers:

► Second Generation computers were working


in between the 1956-1963 with Transistors. It
little bit better than first generation
computers. Actually, this type invented in the
year of 1947 but that came to existence after
1950. The size of the computers decreases
than first generation and available with
cheap cost. Second-generation computers
maintain binary and assembly level
languages. The famous high level languages
COBOL, FORTRAN and etc developed in
second generation computers. Second
generation computers designed for atomic
energy industry.
Minicomputer

Third Generation Computers:


► Third generation computers were
working during the 1964-1971 with
Integrated Circuits those IC’s placed at
the place of transistors. IC’s maintain
transistors along with the silicon chips
and semiconductors. They can
increase the system performance and
efficiency. This generation
computers use keyboard and
Operating system those provide high
efficiency to the users.
Microcomputer

Fourth Generation Computers:

► Fourth generation computers are working


from 1971 that work with the
Microprocessors. It consists of several IC’s
and places them in single environment to
complete operations quickly. It has proper
input and output controls so, number of
people are working with fourth generation
computers. This generation design by the IBM
Company in 1981 and Apple Company by
1984. Fourth generation computers occupy
limited space.
ARTIFICIA
L

Fifth Generation Computer:

► Fifth generation computers are in designing


mode with Artificial Intelligence technology.
The major applications will go to install in fifth
generation computers those are voice
reorganization techniques and parallel
processing techniques. Those may be useful to
the nano technology, quantum technology and
etc. Fifth generation computing devices offer
self learning and self-organization features to
the users.
