6. Definition of Computer
Computer is a advance electronic device
that manipulate information/data. It has the
ability to retrieve and process data.
It can perform Arithmetic and Logical
calculation.
8. 1st Generation Computer
The first generation computers were from 1940-1956.
It was made up of Vacuum Tubes which were used for circuitry
and for memory.
It was expensive to operate.
It consumed lots of electricity.
It was bigger in size , it occupied a room space.
Due to vacuum tubes it generate lot of heat.
UNIVAC and ENIAC computers are examples of first-generation computing.
It was developed by two scientists Mauchly and Echert.
9. Limitation Of 1st Generation Computer
It was large in size.
It consumed large amount of electricity.
Operating of computers were costly.
It’s maintenance was costly.
It was not portable.
10. 2nd Generation:
The period of second
generation was 1959-1963.The
transition from first generation to
second generation of computers
was not abrupt.
11. Advantages:
Disadvantages:
Smaller in size compared to the first generation of
computer
The second generations computers were more
reliable
Constant maintenance was require
Cooling system was required.
13. Integrated Circuit :
The computers of third generation used
integrated
circuits.
A single IC has many transistors,
resistors and capacitors.
The IC was invented by Jack Kilby .
14. Operating system and languages:
In this generation remote processing,
time-sharing, multiprogramming
operating system were used.
High-level languages
FORTRAN ,COBOL, PASCALPL/1,
BASIC, ALGOL - 68etc,IITOIV.were
used during this generation
15. Main features of third generation:
IC used
Smaller size
Generated less heat
Faster
Lesser maintenance
Still costly
A.C needed
Consumed lesser electricity
Supported high-level language
16. Some computers of this generation:
IBM-360 series
Honeywell-6000 series
PDP Personal Data Processor
IBM-370/168
TDC-316
18. Microprocessor :
The fourth generation
computers were designed by
using microprocessor, as
thousands of integrated
circuits were built onto a
single silicon chip.
19. Main features of fourth generation:
Some computers of this generation:
Concept of internet was introduced
Great developments in the fields of networks
PDP 11
CRAY-X-MP(Super Computer)
22. ULSI Circuit :
In the fifth generation of
computers Ultra Large
Scale Integration circuit
(ULSIs ) began to be
used
23. Main features of Fifth generation:
ULSI used
Smaller size
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Some computers of this generation:
Desktop
Laptop
Note Book
Ultra Book
Chrome Book
