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.

5 difference of 4th generation of computer and 5th generation of computer?

This is hard to answer, because there is no industry standard for what a 'generation' is. It is entirely subjective. You will need to define a 'generation' before a comparison is given. IE, there are 3 generations of AMD Phenom II processor, and over 70 generations of AMD processors. There are five major generations in processor bitrate. There are over 400 generations of individual progressments in major computer technology. There are nearly 50 different generations of individual architecture design.
