- However , the history of computers spans several decades , and the generation of computers being defined is the fifth generation .
- Each generation is characterized by major technological advances that radically change the way computers work .
- The result is a machine that is smaller , cheaper , but more powerful , more efficient and more powerful .
- 1940 - 1956 : 1st generation - Vacuum tubes These early computers used vacuum tubes for circuitry and magnetic drums for memory . As a result , they are huge , literally taking up all the space and expensive to operate .
- It is an inefficient material that generates a lot of heat , absorbs a lot of electricity , and then releases a lot of heat , causing permanent damage .
- These first generation computers relied on " machine language " (the simplest programming language a computer can understand ) . These computers are limited to solving one problem at a time .
- Entrance through punched cards and punched tape . output enabled .
- These first generation computers relied on "machine language" (the simplest programming language a computer can understand).
- These computers are limited to solving one problem at a time. Entrance through punched cards and punched tape.
- The output is printed. Two notable machines of that era were the UNIVAC and ENIAC machines. UNIVAC was the first commercial computer purchased by the US Census Bureau in 1951.
- There was a generation of computers.
- 1956 – 1963: Second Generation –
- Transistors were first invented in 1947 but were not widely used in computers until the late 1950s. While it still exposes the computer to harmful heat, it is a significant improvement over vacuum tubes. But they have gone far beyond vacuum tubes, making computers smaller, faster, cheaper and more energy efficient. do you still think On punched cards for input/printing.
- 1964-1971: Third generation - integrated circuits. By this time, transistors had already been miniature and placed on silicon chips (called semiconductors).
- This greatly increased the speed and efficiency of these machines. It was the first computer in which the user interacted with a keyboard and monitor connected to an operating system, a significant advance over punched cards and printed materials.
- This allows the machine to run multiple applications at the same time with a central memory monitoring program.
- 1972 – 2010 Fourth Generation – Microprocessors
- 1972 – 2010 Fourth Generation – Microprocessors
- This revolution can be added in one word Intel. The chip- maker developed the Intel 4004 chip in 1971, which deposited all computer factors( CPU, memory, input/ affair controls) onto a single chip.
- What filled a room in the 1940s now fit in the win of the hand. The Intel chip housed thousands of integrated circuits. The time 1981 saw the first ever computer( IBM) specifically designed for home use and 1984 saw the MacIntosh introduced by Apple.
- Microprocessors indeed moved beyond the realm of computers and into an adding number of everyday products.
- 2010- Fifth Generation – Artificial Intelligence
- Computer bias with artificial intelligence are still in development, but some of these technologies are beginning to crop and be used similar as voice recognition.
- AI is a reality made possible by using resemblant processing and superconductors. Leaning to the future, computers will be radically converted again by amount calculation, molecular and nano technology.
