1st generation computer
1946 is the period of first generation computer. J.P.Eckert and J.W. Mauchy invented the first successful electronic computer called ENIAC, ENIAC stands for “Electronic Numeric Integrated And Calculator -
2nd generation computer
Brattain invented the transistor at Bell Telephone Laboratories in the mid-1940s. By 1948 it was obvious to many that the transistor would probably replace the vacuum tube in devices such as radios, television sets, and computers. -
3rd generation computer
The third generation of computer is marked by the use of Integrated Circuits (IC's) in place of transistors. A single I.C has many transistors, resistors and capacitors along with the associated circuitry. The I.C was invented by Jack Kilby by 1964 -
4th generation of computer
Fourth Generation of computers was between 1971 – 1980. These computers used the VLSI technology or the Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits technology. Therefore they were also known as the microprocessors. Intel was the first company to develop a microprocessor. -
5th generation computer
The Fifth Generation Computer Systems (FGCS) was an initiative by Japan's Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI), begun in 1982, to create computers using massively parallel computing and logic programming. -
6th generation computer
The sixth generation it could be defined as the era of intelligent computers, based on artificial neural networks or “artificial brains”. Artificial Intelligence (AI) or artifical brains is a concept in programming which enables the devices to think and take actions on their own.
