    The document summarizes the five generations of computers from the 1940s to present. The first generation (1946-1958) used vacuum tubes and were large, slow, and expensive. The second generation (1959-1964) used transistors, were smaller and faster than the first, and had reduced costs. The third generation (1965-1970) were smaller, more reliable, used integrated circuits, and interfaced with operating systems and high-level languages. The fourth generation (1971-onwards) used microprocessors, were multipurpose and accurate. The fifth generation (present and beyond) is based on artificial intelligence, uses natural language, and is capable of learning and making decisions.

    GENERATIONS OF COMPUTERS

    BY- PRIYANSHI
    FIRST GENERATION COMPUTERS
    [1946-1958]
    • THE SIZE WAS VERY BIG
    • THE OPERATING SPEED WAS
    VERY SLOW
    • THEY WERE VERY EXPENSIVE
    • THEY USED THE DEVICE
    CALLED VACUUM TUBES.
    • ENIAC AND UNIVAS ARE THE
    EXAMPLES OF FIRST
    GENERATION COMPUTERS
    • IT USED MACHINE LANGUAGE
    SECOND GENERATION COMPUTERS
    [1959-1964]
    • THE SIZE WAS SMALLER THAN
    THE FIRST GENERATION
    COMPUTER
    • THE OPERATING SPEED WAS
    FASTER
    • THE COST GOT REDUCED
    • EXAMPLES OF SECOND
    GENERATION COMPUTERS
    ARE IBM 140,MARK III AND
    LEO
    • THEY USED THE DEVICE
    CALLED TRANSISTORS
    • IT USED ASSEMBLY
    LANGUAGE
    THIRD GENERATION COMPUTERS
    [1965-1970]

    • THE SIZE BECAME SMALLER


    • THEY WERE MORE RELIABLE
    • USERS INTERACTED WITH
    KEYBOARDS AND MONITORS
    WHICH INTERFACED WITH AN
    OPERATING SYSTEM
    • THEY GENERATED LESS HEAT
    • THEY USED HIGH LEVEL
    LANGUAGE LIKE COBOL AND
    FORTRAN
    • THEY USED INTEGRATED
    CIRCUITS [ IC ]
    • EXAMPLES ARE IBM-360,ICL
    1900,CDC etc.
    FOURTH GENERATION COMPUTERS
    [ 1971 ONWARDS ]
    • THEY USE MICROPROCESSOR
    • THEY ARE MULTIPURPOSE
    COMPUTERS
    • THEY ARE ACCURATE AND
    RELIABLE
    • THE OPERATING SPEED IS VERY
    FAST
    • EXAMPLES ARE INTEL
    4004,MACINTOSH,IBM 370 etc.
    • THE PROGRAMMING
    LANGUAGES USED ARE C,C+
    +,JAVA, etc.
    FIFTH GENERATION COMPUTERS
    [ PRESENT AND BEYOND ]
    • IT IS BASED ON
    ARTIFICIAL
    INTELLIGENCE
    • IT USES NATURAL
    LANGUAGE
    • IT IS CAPABLE OF
    LEARNING AND TAKING
    THEIR OWN DECISIONS
    • EXAMPLE OF FIFTH
    GENERATION IS
    ROBOT .
