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.

he 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. Generally speaking, computers can be classified into three generations. Each generation lasted for a certain period of
time,and each gave us either a new and improved computer or an improvement to the existing computer. -
In1937the first electronic digital computer was built byJ.Atanasoff and C.Berry.It was called the Atanasoff-BerryComputer.In1943an electronic computer name the Colossus was built for the military.Other developments continued until in1946the first general–purpose digital computer,the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer was built.It is said that this computer weighed30tons,and had18K vacuum tubes.Computers of this generation could only perform single task,and they had no operating system.

1963 - present -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 was born and in 1981 IBM introduced the personal computer 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.
