Explanation:
1940-1956: Vacuum tubes-These early computers used vacuum tubes as circuity and magnetic drums for memory. As a result they were enormous. literally taking up entire rooms and costing a fortune to run.
1956-1963: Transistors- The replacement of vacuum tubes by transistors saw the advent of the second generation of computing. Although, first invented in 1947. transistors weren't used significantly in computers until the end of the 1950s. They were a big improvement over the vacuum tube, despite still subjecting computers to damaging levels of heat.
1964-1917: Integrated Circuits- By this phase, transistors were now being miniaturized and put on silicon chips (called semiconductors). This lead to a massive increase in speed and efficiently of these machines. These were the first computers where users interacted using keyboards and monitors which interfaced with an operating system, a significant leap up from the punch cards and printouts.
1972-2010: Microprocessors- This revolution can be summed in one word: Intel. The chip maker developed the Intel 4004 chip in 1971, which positioned all computer components (CPU, memory, input/output controls) onto a single chip.
2010: Artificial Intelligence-Computer devices with artificial intelligence are still in development, but some of these technologies are beginning to emerge and be used such as voice recognition.
