used vacuum tubes as circuitry and magnetic drums for memory.
Second Generation happened during 1956 to 1963, vacuum tubes
changed to transistors. On the Third Generation dated on 1964
to1971, transistors became integrated circuits that enabled
machines to run several applications. Followed the Fourth
Generation which marked on 1972 to 2010, when the revolution of
microprocessors such as Intel began. Finally, the Fifth Generation

doing this, we usually use bags whether it is paper or plastic. In
which they have the same usage, to hold the things that we
bought. But thinking of which is really environment-friendly,
makes us confuse. Plastic bag is not biodegradable while paper
bag easily to decompose, hence, the thing that easy to decompose
is better. On the contrary, plastic bag can be used many times,
but paper bags cannot because it is easy to tear, thus, plastic bag
is more reusable than paper bag.
