with each change in technology between generations it became possible to build faster computers than were possible in the previous generation. this was primarily due to two things: smaller signal voltage levels allowing faster switching into similar RC load & smaller size allowing shorter signal paths and less signal delay.
The Five Generations of Computers were all not exact and some overlap in technologies exist. And all of the 5 generations of computers are sometimes useful in providing a general perspective of some of the advancements in computing technology.

The main characteristics of generation computers are:Hand touchMore detailedHigh Defination (HD)High tech.Much easier to be usedMore speed and fast processing
Computers are designed according to the data they are supposed to process. In this regard there are three types of computers Analogue, Digital and Hybrid.
