Best Answer

First generation of operating systems were developed around early 50s to meet the hardware evolution of the time. During this period, the mode of operation was called closed shop where operators would select , run jobs and select another jobs.

Later, a development of mono-programmed OS which eliminated some of the human intervention in running jobs came into play as systems were designed to be operated as batch processing system.

The inherent problems with the first generation were inefficient use of system resources ( which was evident in slow CPU performance) and system protection.

What was the operating system of first generation?

Most first generation computers had no operating system. When they did, it was usually just something called a Batch Monitor, all it did was sequence through several jobs one at a time that had been submitted in a batch. The computer companies saw no need for any form of operating system, so the machine's users had to write them all themselves. It was not until the second generation computer that computer companies supplied operating systems for their computers and the earliest of these were simply adaptations of operating systems written by users of first generation computers with a few extensions.
