Was a Microcomputer part of the first generation?

no, first generation computers used vacuum tubes.


Why were the ABC and ENIAC considered first generation computers?

They are first generation computers because they used vacuum tubes as active elements, as did almost all computers until 1958 when the first generation is usually considered to have ended. From 1958 on most computers used discrete transistors as active elements until 1964.Note: ABC & ENIAC are both very early first generation computers as they used ordinary Radio receiver vacuum tubes, not the more expensive Computervacuum tubes that were introduced about 1948 to 1949. The later Computer vacuum tubes were custom redesigned versions and were far more reliable than ordinary Radio vacuum tubes had been.


You want to have pictures of 5 generation of computers?

Sure thing, honey! First up, we've got the first generation with those big ol' vacuum tube computers. Then we move on to the second generation with transistor computers, followed by the third generation with integrated circuit computers. Next up is the fourth generation with microprocessor computers, and finally, we've got the fifth generation with artificial intelligence computers. Happy picture hunting!


What does a semiconductor have to do with a computer?

some first generation computers used germanium point contact diodes in their logic gates to reduce their vacuum tube parts count.second generation computers used discrete germanium or silicon transistors.third generation and later computers use silicon integrated circuits.


1st generation of computer?

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.
