first generation computers
4 th generation computers
First generation (1940-1956) Vaccum Tubes Second Generation(1956-1963)Transistors Third Generation(1964-1971)Integrated circuits Fourth Generation(1971-present)Microprocessors We already know about some of the early computers - ENIAC , EDVAC , EDSAC , UNIVAC I and IBM . These machines and others of their time used thousands of vacuum tubes . A vacuum tube was a fragile glass device , which used filaments as a source of electronics and could control and amplify electronic signals . It was the only high-speed electronic switching device available in those days . These vacuum tube computers could perform computations in milliseconds and were referred to as first generation computers.
True. Some of these computers used hybrid integrated circuits (e.g. IBM System/360) and some used monolithic integrated circuits (e.g. Apollo Guidance Computer, Minuteman II Guidance Computer)
Transistorized electronics.Magnetic tape drives.Magnetic hard disk drives.Punched cards.
There are a variety of different hardwares and softwares that can be used in different computers.
Second Generation computers. The VAX mentioned above is just a single model of first generation electronic computers.
By most definitions, first generation computers were the ones built with vacuum tubes.
The first minicomputers were second generation computers, but the most well known minicomputers were third generation computers.
Because the first, second, and third generation computers were also digital computers.
Second generation computers are often called transistorized computers. The transistorized computers are more advanced computers than the first generation of computers.
Electro-Mechanical Computers were used before first generation of computers.
