Oct 30, 1946

one key event happened one is the patend ENIAC and the second

Period: Oct 30, 1946 to Oct 30, 1956

first generation

the first computer was invented by:ENIAC or, Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computers was made with vacuum tubes and used magnetic drums for memory

Oct 31, 1946

the era started

Oct 30, 1949

the very first computer was made called the EDSAC

Oct 30, 1952

Oct 30, 1956

OCED figures indicated that the end of the period is over

Period: Oct 30, 1956 to Oct 30, 1963

the second geeration

the computers got a little smaller because they used transistors the computers were smaller faster cheaper more efficient

Oct 31, 1956

the era ended

Oct 31, 1956

the second generation started

Oct 30, 1957

a group of engineers founded Didital Equipment corp

Oct 30, 1958

BIll Norris founded Control Digital Equipment

Oct 30, 1959

ibm's 7000 series mainframe was made

Oct 30, 1960

at&t designed its dataphone

Oct 30, 1961

Fairchild camera and instrument corp invented teh resistor-transistor logic

Oct 30, 1963

the era ended

Oct 31, 1963

the second generation ended

Period: Oct 31, 1963 to Oct 31, 1971

third generation

the development of the integrated circuit was the heart of the generation the transitors were made smaller and put in a silicon chip

Oct 31, 1965

Digital Equipment Corp

introduced the PDP-8, the first commercially successful minicomputer. The PDP-8 sold for $18,000, one-fifth the price of a small IBM 360 mainframe.

Oct 31, 1966

The Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency contracted with the University of Illinois to build a large parallel processing computer

the ILLIAC IV, which did not operate until 1972 at NASA´s Ames Research Center. The first large-scale array computer, the ILLIAC IV achieved a computation speed of 200 million instructions per second, about 300 million operations per second, and 1 billion bits per second of I/O transfer via

Oct 31, 1967

Fairchild Camera and Instrument Corp. built the first standard metal oxide semiconductor product

data processing applications, an eight-bit arithmetic unit and accumulator. In a MOS chip, engineers treat the semiconductor material to produce either of two varieties of transistors, called n-type

Oct 31, 1968

Evans & Sutherland is formed

David Evans and Ivan Sutherland, both professors of computer science, founded a company to develop a special graphics computer known as a frame buffer. This device was a special high-speed memory used for capturing video. Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, the two founders trained a generation of computer

Oct 31, 1971

the era ended

Oct 31, 1971

the third generation started

Period: Oct 31, 1971 to Oct 31, 2012

fourth generation

The use of the microprocessor in the the single silicon chip. The things that are used GUI's.

Oct 31, 1972

Intel´s 8008 microprocessor made its debut.

a vast improvement over a predecessor its eight- bit word afforded 256 unique arrangements of ones and zeros.

Oct 31, 1972

CP/M

Grary Kildall and John Torode developed microcomputers as for the first operating system.

Oct 31, 1974

the microcomputer

the microprocessor was released in order to make the development possible for microcomputer.

Oct 31, 1981

IBM PCIBM

announced the first personal computer

Oct 31, 1984

apple

apple launched the Macintosh successful.

Oct 31, 1988

Compaq

Compaq and other PC-alone makers developed enhanced industry standards.

Oct 31, 1990

Windows3.0

was released

Oct 31, 1994

yahoo

yahoo was founded.

Oct 31, 2012

the fourth generation ended

Oct 31, 2012

the fifth generation started

Oct 31, 2012

Fifth Generation

Smart phones becoming smaller

Period: Oct 31, 2012 to Oct 31, 2020

Fifth Generation

The most high tech of all computers. Right now 2000+ ideas are thought today. people talked about having computers that can think for their self. the main thing in fifth generation is to development voice recognition.
