Generalization

Slide 1

Charles Babbage

The computer as we know it today had its

beginning with a 19th century English
mathematics professor name Charles
Babbage.
He designed the Analytical Engine and it
was this design that the basic framework
of the computers of today are based on.

Father of modern computer.

Slide 2

First Generation
Computers
1937
1946tubes
Characterized
by vacuum
which burned out very rapidly.
The first generation of
computers used machine
language or 0s and 1s.
This generation also used
magnetic tape.
Slide 3

Example of First Gen Computer

Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC).
In 1937 the first electronic digital computer was built
by Dr. John V. Atanasoff and Clifford Berry. It was
called the Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC). In
1943 an electronic computer name the Colossus
was built for the military. Other developments
continued until in 1946 the first general purpose
digital computer, the Electronic Numerical Integrator
and Computer (ENIAC) was built. It is said that this
computer weighed 30 tons, and had 18,000 vacuum
tubes
which was used for processing. When this computer was turned on for the first
time lights dim in sections of Philadelphia. Computers of this generation could
only perform single task, and they had no operating system.

Slide 5

Second Generation
1947-1962
The

second generation of
computers used transistors for
the internal operations.
They used magnetic core for the
memory.
These machines used assembly
language.
Slide 6

Example of Second Gen Computer

UNIVAC 1, IBM 650-700
This generation of computers used transistors instead
of vacuum tubes which were more reliable. In 1951 the
first computer for commercial use was introduced to the
public; the Universal Automatic Computer (UNIVAC 1).
In 1953 the International Business Machine (IBM) 650
and 700 series computers made their mark in the
computer world. During this generation of computers
over 100 computer programming languages were
developed, computers had memory and operating
systems. Storage media such as tape and disk were in
use also were printers for output.
Slide 7

Third Generation
1963-1972
These

computers used
integrated circuits on silicon
chips.
They were characterized with
high-level programming
languages which required logic
such as BASIC, Pascal, C, COBOL,
and Fortran
Slide 8

Example of Third Gen Computer

Integrated Circuit Chips
The invention of integrated circuit brought us the third
generation of computers. With this invention
computers became smaller, more powerful more
reliable and they are able to run many different
programs at the same time. In1980 Microsoft Disk
Operating System (MS-Dos) was born and in 1981
IBM introduced the personal computer (PC) for home
and office use. Three years later Apple gave us the
Macintosh computer with its icon driven interface and
the 90s gave us Windows operating system.
Slide 9

Circuit Board and Transistors

Fourth Generation
1972-Today
These

computers use
microprocessor chips.
Object-Oriented Programming
(OOP) Languages such as Visual
Basic, and JAVA are characteristic
of this computer generation.
Slide 10

Example of Fourth Gen Computer

Intel QuadCore 2 Micro-Processor
In this generation, there were developments of
large-scale integration or LSI (1000 devices per
chip) and very large-scale integration or VLSI
(10000 devices per chip). These developments
enabled the entire processor to fit into a single
chip and in fact, for simple systems, the entire
computer with processor; main memory and I/O
controllers could fit on a single chip.

Slide 12

5th Generation
Still Being Developed
Natural

Language
This language is designed to give
people a more human
connection with computers.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
There is a great deal of bundled
software with this generation.
Slide 13

Example of Fifth Gen Computer

Artificial Intelligence
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 use of parallel processing and
superconductors is helping to make artificial intelligence a
reality. Quantum computation and molecular and
nanotechnology will radically change the face of
computers in years to come. The goal of fifth-generation
computing is to develop devices that respond to natural
language input and are capable of learning and selforganization.
