TIMELINE

  • Period: to

    1st generation

    ENIAC and Vacuum tubes were created
  • ENIAC

    ENIAC was the first model.Wascharacterised by the use of vacuum tubes as the main compenents. Computers were very large, expensive, and required huge amounts of electricity
  • ENIAC computer

    laid the foundations for what we now know as programmable electronic computers. It was created by J. Presper Eckert and John W. Mauchly. It was built at the University of Pennsylvania, United States
  • Period: to

    2nd generation

    Vacuum valves
  • 2nd generation

    It was characterist by the replacement of vacuum valves with transitors, and there were smaller, faster, more realiable machines that used lees electricity
  • TRANSITORS

    Transistors were created as electronic components, replacing the vacuum tubes used in the first generation of computers. Heinrich Geissler was the one who fundamentally developed them.
  • Period: to

    3rd generation

    Circuit(Ic)
  • 3rd generation

    The integrated circuit (IC) was created
    Integrated circuits made computers faster, cheaper and smaller than the second generation computers
    The most popular was the IBM 360
  • Period: to

    4rd generation

    The microprocessors
  • 4rd generation

    It was characterized by the use of microprocessors, small chips that integrate thousands of circuits into a single component. This allowed computers to become smaller, faster, more efficient and more accessible
  • 5th generation

    Are the most advanced computerss. Are the computers of the future, they use artificial inteligence to learn, think on their own, and understand how we speak
  • Period: to

    5th generation

    The computers of the furure
