Write chracteristics of all 5 generation of computer​

First generation — 1940–1956

-used vacuum tubes

ENIAC, UNIVAC I, IBM 650, IBM 701 etc.

mainframes taking up entire rooms

punched cards I/O

electrostatic and mercury delay line memory, beginning use of core

Second generation — 1956-1963

-used discrete transistors

IBM 7090 and 7094, UNIVAC 1107, PDP-1 and 8, etc.

first appearance of minicomputer (PDP-8)

punched cards I/O and line printers (mainframe), TTY (minicomputers)

core memory, magnetic tape for mass storage

Third generation — 1964-1971

-used integrated circuits

IBM System/360, UNIVAC 1108, PDP-8/I, PDP-11/20 and PDP-11/45, etc.

mostly same I/O and memory as second generation

Fourth generation — 1971-present

-use microprocessors

PDP-11/03 and PDP-11/34, Apple ][, IBM PC, Apple Macintosh, IBM z Series, etc.

transition from minicomputers to personal computers

video terminals used for I/O, specialty computer printers developed

fewer mainframes

semiconductor memory replaces core memory

hard drives and optical drives replace magnetic tape for mass storage, followed by solid-state drives (SSD)

Fifth generation — (current research)

-artificial intelligence and quantum computing

The five generations of computer are characterized by electrical current flowing through the processing mechanisms listed below : The first within vacuum tubes The second within transistors The third within integrated circuits The fourth within microprocessors clips The fifth unveiled smart devices capable of artificial...
