Best Answer

No.

One typical definition of computer generations is:

  1. first - vacuum tube
  2. second - discrete transistor
  3. third - integrated circuits, both hybrid & monolithic
  4. fourth - microprocessors, both single chip & multi chip
  5. fifth - multicore superscalar multithreaded microprocessors

The Apple Macintosh has been built with the following single chip microprocessors:

  1. Motorola 680xx family - fourth generation computer
  2. Motorola/IBM PowerPC family - fourth/fifthgeneration computer
  3. Intel Multicore x86 family - fifth generation computer

To be a first generation computer the Apple Macintosh would have to have been built using vacuum tubes for its logic circuits. Obviously at no time has this been the case.
