80% Attendance
REMEMBER: Your first priority must be your studies
3. Generation of Computers
• Computer generation are divided into 5 types :
• First Generation (Vacuum Tubes)
• Second Generation(Transistors)
• Third Generation(Integrated Circuit)
• Fourth Generation(Microprocessors)
• Fifth Generation(Artificial Intelligence)
4. First Generation (Vacuum Tubes)
(1940 - 1956)
Computers of this generation used vacuum tubes to perform
calculations vacuum tubes were expensive because of the
amount of material and skill needed to manufacture them.
Vacuum tubes get hot and burn out computers of this generation
were very large machines.
Special rooms with air conditioning were needed to house them
because of the heat generated by the vacuum tubes. The most
important computers of this generation were ENIAC-1 (Electronic
Numerical Integrator and Computer), UNIVAC – 1 (Universal
Automatic Computer).

7. Second generation (1956 - 1963)
The second generation of computers use of transistors instead of vacuum tubes. Transistors were
widely used in computers from 1956 to 1963.
Transistors were smaller than vacuum tubes and allowed computers to be smaller in size, faster
in speed, and cheaper to build.
Advantages :
1) 200 transistors are about same size as one vacuum tube in a computer.
2) Much less expensive than a vacuum tube.
3) A transistor can work 40 times faster than a vacuum tube.
4) Do not get hot & burn like a vacuum tube.
Typical example of this generation are as follow :-
IBM 7094 SERIES ,IBM 1400 SERIES , CDC 164 etc.
9. Third generation (1964 - 1971)
The third generation of computers introduced the use of IC (integrated
circuits) in computers. Using IC's in computers helped reduce the size of
computers even more compared to second-generation computers, as well as
make them faster.
These computer used magnetic core memory as internal storage
all computers since the mid to late 1960s have utilized IC's. While the third
generation is considered by many people to have spanned from 1964 to 1971,
IC's are still used in computers today. Over 45 years later, today's computers
have deep roots going back to the third generation.
11. Fourth generation (1972 - 2010)
The fourth generation of computers took advantage of the invention of
the microprocessor, more commonly known as a CPU. Microprocessors, along
with integrated circuits, helped make it possible for computers to fit easily on
a desk and for the introduction of the laptop.
Some of the earliest computers to use a microprocessor include the Altair
8800, IBM 5100, and Micral. Today's computers still use a microprocessor,
despite the fourth generation being considered to have ended in 2010.
12. Fifth generation (2010 to present)
The fifth generation of computers is beginning to use AI (artificial
intelligence), an exciting technology that has many potential applications
around the world. Leaps have been made in AI technology and computers, but
there is still much room for improvement.
One of the more well-known examples of AI in computers is IBM's Watson,
which has been featured on the TV show Jeopardy as a contestant. Other
better-known examples include Apple's Siri on the iPhone and
Microsoft's Cortana on Windows 8 and Windows 10 computers.
The Google search engine also utilizes AI to process user searches.
