- 2. Computer Generations • Theterm 'Computer Generation'is often used in relation to the hardware of computers.Each phase of computer development is known as a separate generation of computer.
- 3. First Generation Computer •The first electronic computer was designed at Iowa State between 1939- 1942 • This computers were slow,huge,expensive and often unreliable. • Contained vacuum tubes and stored numbers for calculations by burning holes in paper.

- 7. Second Generation Computers •In 1947, the transistor was invented. • The transistor made computers smaller, less expensive and increased calculating speeds. • Second generation computers also saw a new way data was stored. • Punch cards were replaced with magnetic tapes and reel to reel machines.
- 9.
- 10. Third Generation Computers •Transistors were replaced by integrated circuits(IC) • One IC could replace hundreds of transistors • This made computers even smaller and faster.
- 12.
- 13. Fourth Generation Computers •In 1970 the Intel Corporation invented the Microprocessor:an entire CPU on one chip. • This led to microcomputers-computers on a desk.
- 15.
- 16. Fifth Generation Computers Presentand Beyond • The fifth generation computers are technologically advance and are stillbeing developed to become more efficient, though there are some applications,such as voice recongnition,advanced robotics that are beind used today.
- 17. 5th Generation5th Generation StillBeing DevelopedStill Being Developed • Natural Language • This language is designed to give people a more human connection with computers. • Uses multi-media has also defined this generation. • There is a great deal of “bundled software” with this generation.
