    The document summarizes the five generations of computers from 1946 to present. The first generation used vacuum tubes, were very large in size, and had slow processing speeds. The second generation introduced transistors, were smaller with faster processing. The third generation used integrated circuits and were smaller than the second generation with faster speeds. The fourth generation used microprocessors and VLSI technology. The fifth generation, still in development, focuses on artificial intelligence using parallel processing and superconductors.

    First Generation -1946 to 1958

    Size: Very Large System

    Technology :Vacuum Tubes

    Processing :Very Slow

    Second Generation – 1959 - 1964

    Technology :Transistors

    Size : Smaller

    Processing : Faster
    History of Computer
    Third Generation 1965-1970

    Technology : ICs (Integrated Circuits) Incorporated


    many transistors & electronic circuits on a single
    chip

    Size : Small as compared to 2nd generation computers

    Processing : Faster then 2nd generation computers


    Fourth Generation 1971 – today

    These computers used the VLSI technology or


    the Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits
    technology. Therefore they were also known as the
    microprocessors. Intel was the first company to
    develop a microprocessor.

    Fifth Generation

    It is based on artificial intelligence, are still in


    development, though there are some applications, such
    as voice recognition, that are being used today.The use
    of parallel processing and superconductors is helping to
    make artificial intelligence a reality.
