Generation of Computers
The history of computer development is often referred to in reference to the different generations of
computing devices. A generation refers to the state of improvement in the product development
process. This term is also used in the different advancements of new computer technology. With each
new generation, the circuitry has gotten smaller and more advanced than the previous generation
before it. As a result of the miniaturization, speed, power, and computer memory has proportionally
increased. New discoveries are constantly being developed that affect the way we live, work and play.
Each generation of computers is characterized by major technological development that
fundamentally changed the way computers operate, resulting in...show more content...
Invented in 1947 at Bell Labs, transistors have become the key ingredient of all digital circuits,
including computers. Today's latest microprocessor contains tens of millions of microscopic
transistors.
Prior to the invention of transistors, digital circuits were composed of vacuum tubes, which had
many disadvantages. They were much larger, required more energy, dissipated more heat, and were
more prone to failures. It's safe to say that without the invention of transistors, computing as we know
it today would not be possible.
The transistor was invented in 1947 but did not see widespread use in computers until the late 50s.
The transistor was far superior to the vacuum tube,allowing computers to become smaller, faster,
cheaper,more energy–efficient and more reliable than their first–generation predecessors. Though the
transistor still generated a great deal of heat that subjected the computer to damage, it was a vast
improvement over the vacuum tube. Second–generation computers still relied on punched cards for
input and printouts for output.
Second–generation computers moved from cryptic binary machine language to symbolic, or
assembly, languages,which allowed programmers to specify instructions in words. High–level
programming languages were also being developed at this time, such as early versions of COBOL
and FORTRAN. These were also the first computers that stored their
