The Generations of Computer History: By: MHS-AM-32

This document summarizes the five generations of computer history from 1946 to the present. The first generation used vacuum tubes like ENIAC. The second generation used transistors like IBM's 700 series. The third generation used integrated circuits like the PDP-8. The fourth generation used microprocessors like the Kenbak-1 personal computer. The fifth generation involves ongoing development of artificial intelligence using techniques like the Turing Test. Pictures and examples from each generation are provided.
