First Generation (1940-1956): Vacuum Tubes
Characteristics

Big, used lots of power, and slow.

Processed information slowly.

Used for science and the military.


Second Generation (1956-1963): Transistors
Characteristics

Transistors were smaller, more reliable, and used less power than vacuum tubes.

Computers became faster and worked better.

Magnetic core memory was used to store data.


Third Generation (1964-1971): Integrated
Circuits
Characteristics

Smaller, more powerful computers using integrated circuits.

Miniaturized computers emerged; personal computing started.

Used in business, science, and government.


Fourth Generation (1971-Present):
Microprocessors
Key Features

Microprocessors put a computer's parts on one chip.

This led to personal computers and wider computer use.

It also brought us GUIs, the internet, and mobile computing.


Fifth Generation (Present and Beyond): AI

Characteristics

Computers that think and learn like humans.

Uses AI, machine learning, and natural language processing.

Will change many industries and our lives.
