Second Generation (1956 – 1963)
• Around 1955, Transistors were
introduced
• Cost and Size of a Computer is
reduced
• Operating systems were
designed
• Used assembly language
• Used FORTRAN and COBOL
Transistors
as high level language
• Programmers job was simplified

14. Third Generation (1964-1971)
• Large Scale Integrated Circuits
(LSIC’s) were introduced
• IC’s combined electronic components
onto a small silicon disc, made from
quartz
• Higher packing density, i.e. number of
components fabricated in an IC
• OS/360 LSIC
• Operating systems allowed the
machines to run many different
applications 14

Fourth Generation (1971-Present)
• Very large scale integrated circuits
• Continued miniaturization
• Billions of circuits for cubic foot
• Packing density has drastically increased
• Local Area Networks (LAN) and Wide Area Networks
(WAN), were potential benefits
• Internet and World Wide Web appeared on the
computer scene
