I am going to talk something related to the history and future of computers.

You know that it was

an important invention that changed many aspects of our life.

About the 19th century Charles Babbage, a mathematics professor, designed the Analytical Engine,
that nowadays is the basic framework of the computer are based on.

Analytical Engine: General, it was considering the first computer of the history. The features of
the Analytical Engine can be find in the modern digital computer.

Computers can be classified into five generations. Each one of these generations lasted for a
certain period of time and gave us a new and improved computer.

First generation: 1940-1956

The first computers used “Vacuum tubes” for circuitry and magnetic drums for memory. Were
often enormous taking up entire rooms. Also, they were very expensive and they spent a lot of
energy. The problems with the first computers were that they were slowly to perform tasks.

Second generation: 1956-1963

Transistors replace vacuum tubes. 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. These computers, were also the first that stored their instructions in
their memory.

Third generation: 1964-1971

The development of the integrated circuit was the hallmark of the third generation of computers.
Transistors were placed in silicon chips called semiconductors.  users could interact with third
generation computers through keyboards and monitors and interfaced with an operating system,
which allowed the device to run many different applications. Also, they were smaller and cheaper.

Fourth generation: 1971- Present

The microprocessor brought the fourth generation of computers, as thousands of integrated

circuits were built onto a single silicon chip. In 1981 IBM introduced its first computer for the
home user, and in 1984 Apple introduced the Macintosh. Microprocessors also moved out of the
realm of desktop computers and into many areas of life as more and more everyday products
began to use microprocessors. Fourth generation computers also saw the development of
the mouse and handheld devices.

Fifht generation: present beyond

Fifth generation computing devices, based on artificial intelligence, are still in development,
though there are some applications, such as voice recognition, that are being used 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.
