The Five Generations of Computer

First Generation Computers(1940-1956)                                         

♛Vacuum tubes for circuitry and magnetic drums.

♛Using a great deal of electricity.

♛Generated a lot of heat.

♛UNIVAC & ENIAC

Second Generation Computers(1956-1963)

♛Transistors replaced vacuum tubes.

♛High-level programming languages

(COBOL,FORTRAN)

♛Symbolic language.

♛Stored their instructions in their memory.

Third Generation Computers(1964-1971)

♛Silicon Chips

♛Semiconductors

♛Keyboards,Monitor,interfaced with operating system.

♛Run many different applications at one time.

Fourth Generation Computers(1971-present)

♛Microprocessor

♛Intel 4004 chip

♛Central Processing Unit

♛GUIs, mouse handheld devices

♛Thousands of circuits were build onto a single silicon chip.

Fifth Generation Computers

♛AI(Artificial Intelligence)

♛Voice recognition

♛Parallel processing

♛Natural language

♛Robotics

♛Capable pf learning and self-organization.

I've learned that the Generation of Computers will keep on upgrading and upgrading.
