The document discusses the generations of computers from the first to fifth generation. The first generation used vacuum tubes and magnetic drums for memory. The second generation used transistors instead of vacuum tubes, making computers smaller and less heat-generating. The third generation used integrated circuits instead of transistors to make computers even more compact and reliable. The fourth generation used microprocessors and large-scale integrated circuits. The fifth generation is still being developed and focuses on artificial intelligence capabilities like natural language processing.
Computer has become a part of our life. Today along with calculations, their work area is very wide-supermarket scanners scan and calculate our grocery bill and also keep store inventory, automatic teller machines(ATM) helps us in banking transaction how the technology has developed and what its future course is To understand this first we should know about the different generations of computers.
The First electronic computer was designed and built at the university of pennsylvania based on vaccum tube technology. Vaccum tubes were used to perform logic operations and to store data. Generations of computers has been divided into five according to the development of technologies used to fabricate the processors, memories and I/O units.
The History of computer development is often referred to in reference to the different generations of computing devices. Each generation of computer is characterized by a major technological development that fundamentally changed the way computers operates, resulting in increasingly smaller, cheaper, more powerful and more efficient and reliable devices.
Generation in computer terminology is a change in technology a computer is/was being used. Initially, the generation term was used to distinguish between varying hardware technologies. But nowadays, generation includes both hardware and software, which together make up an entire computer system.

Generation in computer terminology is a change in technology
With each new generation, the circuitry has gotten smaller and more advanced than the previous generation
it is all about the generation of computer. explained in a detailed way. helpful for those students who is seeking information about computer generation.it is available in one place
Charles Babbage is said to be the "father of computers" since it was, he who first conceived the idea of the basic design of a computer.
With his “need” to develop a device that can carry out calculations with absolute precision and eliminate miscalculations in course plotting and engineering, he offered the world the design for his first computer called the Difference Engine.
The gradual developments of computers over the years
Computers have faced “technical evolution” over the entire course of their years. With the advancement in scientific knowledge and improved technical progress, computers are growing “smarter” day by day.
Science has been able to spearhead the improvement that has allowed computers to advance.
Now, future computers can make their "own decisions" with better artificial intelligence.

Generations of Computer
We call the development of computers at different stages of Generations of Computer. The development of computers has been going on for many years and is still going on today.
The seven generations of computers are divided on the basis of computer development:
A. First Generation of Computer (1946–1953)-
The first generation period dates back to 1937–1953. Two great scientists created the world's first and largest ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) computer. It was a Fully Electronic Digital Computer. This is where the first computer generation began.
But Vacuum tube was used for memory in computers of this generation.
Due to the Vacuum Tube, these computers were larger in size, limited memory and consumed more power. These computers used to generate large amounts of heat.
Features of first-generation computers:
1. Manufactured by Vacuum tube
2. Use of machine language
3. more expensive
4. too big in size
5. Overweight and slow motion
6. AC required
7. Use of large amounts of electricity
8. Use of punch card and magnetic tape for input and output

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. The term Computer Generations is
mainly used to help understand the
various improvement that have taken
place in computer used over last few
decades
Introduction
5. FIRST GENERATION
First generation of digital computer were
developed in 1940s
Those computers were built using vacuum
tube and logic circuitry
They used magnetic drum for main memory
First generation of computer relied on
machine language , the lowest-level of
programming language understood by
computer
They could only solve one problem at a time
10. SECOND GENERATION
Second generation of digital computer
were developed in early 1950s .
They used transistors in place of
vacuum tubes .
It was smaller in size , less expensive
and generator less heat than vacuum
tubes
Even though transistor still generated a
lot of heat which could cause damage to
the computer it was vast improvement
over the vacuum tubes
11. SPEED
The speed of second generation computer
was measured in micro second.
14. THIRD GENERATION
The Third Generation of computer was
developed in the mid 1960s.
They used Integrated Circuits in place of
transistors.
Integrated circuits where much more Compact.
One Integrated circuits could do the Job done
by Hundred transistors.
The Computer generated less heat and were
more reliable.
15. SPEED
The Speed of Third generation of computer
was measured in nano-second
18. FOURTH GENERATION
The fourth generation computer were
introduced in 1970s.
And used last scale integrated (LSI) Circuits.
LSI Chips can fit on a tip of one finger and
yet they contain thousand of transistor ,
diodes and registers .
This made it possible for inexpensive micro-
computer to be developed.
23. FIFTH GENERATION
Fifth Generation computers based on
Artificial Intelligence are still under
development, however there are several
application using voice input that are already
in use today.
The Goal of fifth generation computing is to
develop devices that respond to natural
language input and are capable of learning
and self organization.
24. Artificial Intelligence include
A) Playing game such as Chess ,Where
there has been Considerable success, as the
super computer called Deep Blue could
defeat Gary Kasparov the world chess
champion.
B) Use of Natural spoken language to
program a computer
