Hardware and software timeline

  • Period: to

    First generation

    These computers were very big and expensive, they consumed a lot of energy,they used vacuum tubes and the first generation computer that existed was the ENIAC
  • Period: to

    Second generation

    These computers were more advanced than the first generation computers, in this case, second generation computers started using transistors.
  • Period: to

    Third generation

    These computers went after the second generation computers , the third generation computers were too much more cheaper and they used integrated circuits.
  • Period: to 2018 BCE

    Fourth generation

    These computers produced less heat and they used less energy than the last generation ones, and they also started using microprocessors.
  • Period: to 2060 BCE

    Fifht generation

    These kind of computers will appear in the future and they will use artificial inteligence.
