Third Generation
About 1942 with the Atanasoff Berry Computer.
roughly 1890 through 1960, it overlaps first and second generation electronic computers with some equipment still in use in the 1970s assisting third generation electronic computers for offline functions.
First generation computers were built with vacuum tubes. The capabilities were about the same as that of modern computers, except limited by very small memories and slow speed. Typical first generation computer memory cost from $2 to $20 per byte equivalent, whereas today's computer memory costs less than a micro-penny per byte.
because the medial period covered from 700 ad to 1800 BC

the invention of transistor in 1947 provided a substitute for vacuum tubes in the second generation of computers. computers of this period all used magnetic-core storage systems for memory. -IBM 410 -Honeywell 800

Typical first generation computer memory cost from $2 to $20 per byte equivalent, whereas today's computer memory costs less than a micro-penny per byte.
The features include: used integrated circuits, smaller in size compared to second generation computers, faster and more reliable, used high level language, magnetic core and solid states as main storage, reduced computational time and had low maintenance cost, input and output became more sophisticated. They were developed during the period of 1964 to 1971.
period of new society is the period of new generation..
