What is computer ?

A computer is a machine that


can be programmed to
automatically carry out
sequences of arithmetic or
logical operations
(computation).

1ST GENERATION OF COMPUTER
 The first generation of computers is
generally known as electromechanical
computers or using vacuum tubes. For
example, ENIAC has used Vacuum tubes,
relied on Machine Language and Boolean
logic. A computer using vacuum tubes is
very slow in executing programs
compared to present-day computers.
2ND GENERATION OF COMPUTER

Transistors, rather than vacuum tubes,


were used to construct the second-
generation computer. This is widely
regarded as the most important
characteristic of the second-generation
computer system. They are capable of
processing assembly language and high-
level languages such as FORTRAN and
COBOL.

3RD GENERATION OF COMPUTER
 Third-generation computers used
integrated circuits in place of transistors.
With the use of integrated circuits, these
computers became reliable, generated
less heat, were small in size, fast, very
less maintenance, and were inexpensive.
It was developed in 1958 by Robert
Noyce and Jack Kilby.
multitasking smal and fast
4TH GENERATION OF COMPUTER
 Fourth Generation of computers
was between 1971 – 1980. These
computers used the VLSI technology or
the Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI)
circuits technology. Therefore they were
also known as the microprocessors.
 More circuit in one chip
 Use microprocessor
 Because of this they called
 microprocessor
5TH GENERATION OF COMPUTER
 Fifth Generation: Focuses on
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and
quantum computing, using advanced
technologies like Very Large Scale
Integration (VLSI) and AI algorithms.
 Trustable computers
 Use programming languages
 use Ultra large scale intigration
 Artificial intelligence
