the following questions.
1.Which device was used for memory in first generation computers?
2.Which languages were being developed in second generation computers?
3.What was the main feature of third generation computers? How did it affect
the computers?
4.What is the goal of fifth generation computers?
Answers
Answer:
1.vacuum tubes
The computers of first generation used vacuum tubes as the basic components for memory and circuitry for CPU (Central Processing Unit). These tubes, like electric bulbs, produced a lot of heat and
2.In this generation, assembly language and high-level programming languages like FORTRAN, COBOL were used. The computers used batch processing and multiprogramming operating system.
3.The aim was to build parallel computers for artificial intelligence applications using concurrent logic programming.
4.The main features of the third-generation computers were that they; used Integrated Circuits, reliable in comparison to previous two generations, smaller in size, generated less heat, faster in terms of speed, lesser maintenance, still costly, A.C needed, and consumed lesser electricity.
Answer:
1)vacuum tube 4) the goal of fifth generation computer is to develop devices that respond to th natural language input and are capable of learning and self organization
