The generations of the computer

FOURTH GENERATION (1971 TO 1981)

LSI large scale integration circuit is born
memory of magnetic rings is replaced by memory of silicon chips
each chip can do different tasks
more circuits are placed inside a chip
microprocessor was developed

SECOND GENERATION (1959-1964)

the programs that were used during the first generation were improved
were used in applications for airline reservation systems, air traffic control
new programming languages such as COBOL and FORTRAN were developed
they used small magnetic rings to store information
used transistors to process information

|

FIFTH GENERATION AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (1982-1989)

is known as communication networks like hardware and software
supercomputers are developed
microcomputers, personal computers or PCs are developed
the development of software and the systems with which computers are managed

THIRD GENERATION (1964-1971)

they become smaller, lighter and more efficient
processors can perform both mathematical processing and analysis tasks
software industry emerges
multiprogramming arises
chips were developed to store information
integrated circuits were developed to process information

FIRST GENERATION (1951 TO 1958)

they were very big
they were extremely slow
they used a lot of energy
used punch cards to enter data and programs
used magnetic cylinders to store information
they used vacuum tubes to process information
