Generations of Computers

Since I like history, I like to take a look back at something's past. And this time we are going to take a look at the generations of computers.

These different types of computers from different generations usually differentiate in technological development. In our generation, we have cheaper, better, smaller, faster, efficient, and has more powerful processors. The 1st generation computers are vacuum tubes that uses 0s and 1s for coding and can only solve 1 problem at a time. it uses vacuum tubes for circuitry and magnetic drums for memory. The input was punched cards and the output was printouts.The 2nd generation are transistors.The transistor use magnetic
core technology for primary memory and magnetic tapes and magnetic disks for secondary storage. The third are integrated circuits. It is like multiple transistors placed on a silicon chip. It adds speed and efficiency to the processor. Also, monitor and keyboard has been used at this time. The 4th generation computers are microprocessors. Operating systems has developed. They use the Large Scale Integration (LSI) and the Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) technology.And lastly, the Artificial Intelligence. It has a goal to make computers capable of learning and self-organization. It uses Super Large Scale Integrated (SLSI). This generation of computers uses parallel processing. The Artificial Intelligence or AI tries to copy the way human thinks and works.
