THE FIVE GENERATIONS OF COMPUTERS

By YicethC

  • FIRST GENERATION: Vacuum Tubes (1940-1956)

    FIRST GENERATION: Vacuum Tubes (1940-1956)
    The first computer systems used vacuum tubes for circuitry and Magnetic Drums for memory.
    CHARACTERISTICS:
    -Machine Language
    -Punched Cards and paper tape
    FIRST COMPUTER
    UNIVAC
    ENIAC

  • SECOND GENERATION: Transistors (1956-1963)

    SECOND GENERATION: Transistors (1956-1963)
    Transistors replace vacuum
    invented at Bell tabs in (1947)
    CHARACTERISTICS
    -Atomic energy Industry
    -The transistor was far superior to the vacuum tube
    -More energy efficient and more reliable
    -Though the transistor still generated a grreat deal of heat.

  • THIRD GENERATION: Tntegrated Circuits (1964-1971)

    THIRD GENERATION: Tntegrated Circuits (1964-1971)
    transistors were miniaturized and placed on chips, called semiconductors, which drastically increased the speed on silicon chips, called semiconductors, which drastically increased the speed and efficiency of computers.
    The first integrated circuit was developed in the 1950s by jack kilby of texas instruments and robert noyce of fairchild semiconductor.

  • FOURTH GENERATION: Microprocessors (1971-Present)

    FOURTH GENERATION: Microprocessors (1971-Present)
    The microprocessor brought the fourth generation of computers. The intel 4004 chip, developed in 1971 from the central processing unitand. In 1984 IBM introduced its first computer for the home user, and in 1984 Apple introduced the Macintosh.
    Fourth generation also saw the development of GUIS. The MOUSE and HANDHELD devices.

  • FIFTH GENERATION: Artificial Intelligence (1983,Present and Beyond)

    FIFTH GENERATION: Artificial Intelligence (1983,Present and Beyond)
    JAPAN 1983: "Program of the fifth generation of computers"
    U S: Artificial Intelligence
    Robotics
    Expert Systems

  • FIFTH GENERATION: Artificial Intelligence (1983,Present and Beyond)

    FIFTH GENERATION: Artificial Intelligence (1983,Present and Beyond)
    ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

  • FIFTH GENERATION: Artificial Intelligence (1983,Present and Beyond)

    FIFTH GENERATION: Artificial Intelligence (1983,Present and Beyond)
    ROBOTICS (Isaac asimov)
    1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to ham
    1. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the first law
    2. A robot must protect is own existence as long as such protection does not confilict with the firsth or second laws
