hii,
a computer is an electronic device which accept data in input from prosse it and gives us desired output(result),it lso restores data for future use.
.a computer is a very useful machine
.speed,accuracy,large memory,diligence,and versatlity are the characterstics of computer.
generation.
first generation of computers(1942-1955)
Eniac,Edvac,univac
second generation of computers(1956-1964)
Eniac1401,Ibm700,Cdc160
third generation(1965-1971)
Ibm360,Icl1900,Vax-750
forth generation(1972-onwards)
Ibm4300,Icl2900,Hp9000
fifth generation(future times)
AI(artificial intellegence)
hope its help u...《《《》》》》~~

☆ WHAT IS COMPUTER?

A) Computer is an electronic device that was once used for 'computing', but now it's multi-purpose.

☆ WHAT ARE ITS USES?

A) - First, it was only meant for computing, that is, to calculate large sums.
- But, now it have a wise ranging function than just calculating.
- We can play games there.
- We can play music
- We can enjoy some movies.
- We can do some presentations
- We can get information.
and it has lot more..

☆ WHAT ARE ITS ADVANTAGES?

A) - It gives us a lot more knowledge than by books.
- It is better to keep a computer system than keeping a library.
- It can entertain us a lot.

☆ WHAT ARE ITS DISADVANTAGES?

A) - It is bad for eyes.
- It reduces socialising
- It becomes so addicting.
- it's misuse in various ways is a huge disadvantage.

> But, remember, this disadvantage and advantage depends on us, how we use it.

☆ TYPES OF COMPUTER?

> On the basis of size, and speed,types of computer are :

- MICROCOMPUTER :
It's slow and has relatively less storage compacity. It is small in size.

- MINICOMPUTER : Minicomputer is much larger one. It's often referred to as midrange computers.

> MAINFRAME COMPUTERS

- MAINFRAME computer are very large, often filling an entire room. They can store a lot of information.

> SUPER COMPUTERS.

Super computer is one if the many types of modern computing machines which are big, powerful, and are capable if doing big calculations.

☆ GENERATIONS OF COMPUTER.

> FIRST GENERATION COMPUTERS - VACCUM TUBE BASED COMPUTERS

First generation was characterised by Vacuum tubes. The first generation computers were built to solve physcis equations. It used Machine language .

> SECOND GENERATION COMPUTER - TRANSISTOR BASED COMPUTERS

- 1960s, TRANSISTOR based computers replaced vaccum tubers which marked the second generation of computers. It used Assembly level languages.

> THIRD GENERATION COMPUTERS - INTEGRATED CIRCUIT BASED COMPUTERS.

- Integrated circuit based computers marked the 3rd generation of computers. Small transistors where placed on silicon chips , called semiconductors. It is based on high level languages.

> FOURTH GENERATION COMPUTERS - MICROPROCESSOR

- They facilitated automation of industrial process and office. Microprocessor is compact and easy to maintain. It has a high processing speed. However, it hasimitations of size of data.

> FIFTH GENERATION COMPUTERS - ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

- They are going to start. They are going to be based on the principles of artificial intelligence and natural language recognition. This technique is used to design tubes

Hope it helps..
