When second generation of computer was developed?
The first second generation computers came on the market in 1958.
Second generation computers were developed to meet the needs of what?
The second generation computers were developed to meet the needs of the atomic energy laboratories.
What are features for second generation computer?
Second generation computers are often called transistorized computers. The transistorized computers are more advanced computers than the first generation of computers.
What is the name of second generation computer?
Transistorized computers.
Which generation does the computers developed up to 1958 is it first second third or forth?
first
Did second generation computer was electrical or mechanical?
Second generation computers used electronic transistors. A small number used magnetic amplifiers.
A computer that used transistors in its circuitry was first developed in the?
second generation of computing
When was the computer discovered?
The computer was not discovered, it was invented. It was a long process of invention for the computer as we know it today. First generation: (post World War II) Digital computers were enormous, developed mainly in the U.S. and used vacuum tubes. Second generation: (around 1960) Computers then used transistors; these were the first successful commercial computers. Third generation: (late 1960s and 1970s) These were characterized by using integrated circuits and miniaturizing components. Fourth generation: (1974) The microprocessor chip defined these computers, which resemble our computers today.
Who invented the second generation of computers?
second generation
First generation computers are called ICL2900HP9845 A VAX11780.What are second generation computers called?
Second Generation computers. The VAX mentioned above is just a single model of first generation electronic computers.
What is the difference between first generation and second generation computers?
First Generation Computers refer to ones with vacuum tubes and were really huge and required vast amounts of electricity. The programming was very limited and very complex USN machine language. Usually they were hardwired and the applications very limited. Second Generation Computer were built using transistors that were much smaller and required less power and space. General Purpose program languages were developed that could be moved from 1 computer to the next.
Are Computers that used transistors are referred to as third-generation computers?
no, second generation. third generation computers used ICs.
