The Evolution Of

Computers
First Generation Computers

• The first generation computers consisted of vacuum tubes.

• They were mostly used during 1943-1958.
• The computers were very large in size( Taking up an entire room
for just 1 computer) and they often overheated.
Second Generation Computers

Mostly used during (1959-1965)

Vacuum tubes were replaced by
transistors. This allowed them to use
less electricity and generate less heat.
The size of the computer reduced.
It was faster than first generation
computers.
Third Generation Computers

• 3rd Generation computers from 1964 to 1971.

• It was smaller, more powerful and increased in speed.
• They know had keyboards and monitors.
Fourth generation Computers

• The fourth generation computers were very small computers.

There was now laptops
• It increased in storage, capacity, and also speed
• We’re used 1971 – 2010
5 (Last Generation Computers)

• We can expect more advanced computer technology.

• It will continue to develop in the future.
• Used 2010- ?
Conclusion

• This topic was interesting to me because technology has come a

long way from computers taking up a whole room to being able to
use it anywhere you want.
