Learning At the end of the lesson the

Outcome students will be able to;

• Identify the era of

generations
of computer
• Identify how computers are
classified
• Distinguish the difference of
its generations and
classification of computers
• Understand how it
transcends the ideas of
computer from previous to
current era.

With the use of transistors
a lot of changes had also
been made such as in

from its machine language
Second-generation computers
moved from machine language
to symbolic or assembly,
languages which allowed
programmers to specify
instructions in words.

languages were also
being developed such
