Evolution of Computers
First Generation Computers
The computers were made by vacuum tubes. They were huge in size.
Eg: ENIAC, EDVAC and UNIVAC
Each machine contained about 5000 vacuum tubes. Each unit was bulky and needed a lot of maintenance
1940 to 1956
Third Generation Computers
The computers were made up of integrated circuits
The transistors reduced its size and they were kept on silicon chips called semi conductors to speed and efficiency of computers
1964 to 1971
Second Generation Computers
The computers were made up of transistors.
Transistors were more reliable, cheaper and smaller. It was easier to maintain and had more computing power.
The development of High Languages such as FORTRAN, COBOL, ALGOL and SNOBOL took place this generation.
1956 to 1963
Fourth Generation Computers
The computers were made up of world's first Intel 4004 microprocessor created by Dr Ted Hoff.
LAN - Local Area Network covers almost a building while WAN - Wide Area Network covers a continent.
It increased the speed, storage space and reliability.
1972 - Present
Fifth Generation Computers
They were made up of super large scale integrated chips.
AI also known as Artificial Intelligence which is similar to human intelligence has capabilities to decode and respond to human language
Present and Beyond
