1st generation of computers
-
Period: to
1st generation of computers
used vacuum tubes
were very large expensive and required huge amount of electricity -
2nd generation of computers
-
Period: to
2nd generation of computers
used transistors instead of vacuum tubes
faster and cheaper -
3rd generation computer
-
Period: to
3rd generation computer
an integrated circuit (ID)is a small as a transistor but it can work as thousands of them
integrated circuits made computers fasters cheapers and smaller
they use less electricity and made fewer mistakes -
4th generation computer
-
Period: to
4th generation computer
Use microprocessors
Are smaller portable and cheaper
they use less electricity and produce less heat -
5th generation of computers
-
Period: to
5th generation of computers
Are the most advanced computers
Scienntists are now trying to develop fifth.generation computers. This is called artificial intelligence (AI)
