The first generation was simple wooden computers like the abacus. The next was metal or brass computers used in ship navigation and other more complex tasks, such as the astrolabe. The third generation are vaccum tube based large computers like the UNIVAC, capable of complex business tasks and database operations. The fourth generation are the common PCs and laptops we use today. The 5th generation are laser and holographic computers, in development but not generally available yet.
