how many generations are there in computer ?

"
 Computer Generation are based on more and more technical changes in computer occurred Like the use of vacuum tubes , Transistors , Integrated Circuit and the  Microprocessor . On 2010 there are Five Generation of Computer .


First Generation ( 1940 - 1956)

The first generation of computer use of vacuum as more piece of technology . Vacuum tube are widely used in computer 1940 to 1956 . vacuum tube are larger component of First generation computer being quite large in size and taking up lot of space ..

Vacuum tube


The ENIAC is most greater example of first generation computer . It consisted nearly 20000 vacuum tubes , 10000 capacitors and 70000 resistors the size of computer took over 30 ton . other example of first generation computer like EDSAC and IBM 701 .


Second Generation ( 1956-1963 )

The second generation of Computer most use of transistors and instead of vacuum tubes . Transistors are widely used in computer 1956 to 1963 . transistor are smaller than vacuum tubes it become computer to be smaller size it is faster than vacuum tubes and cheaper to build .

Transistors


The First computer to use of Transistor was the TX-0  and was introduced in 1956 other example of computer used transistors like IBM 7070 and RCA 501


Third Generation ( 1964 - 1971) 

The third generation of computer are stand for IC ( integrated circuit ) in computer .
it is help to reduce the size of computer in comparison to first and second generation and also become more faster in comparison to first and second generation . 

Integrated Circuit



Nearly all computer In 1960 have utilized to IC . while the third generation is considered by many people to have spanned from 1964 to 1971 . IC also used in today Computer . Over 45 year later today computer have deep root going back to the third generation.

Fourth Generation ( 1972 - 2010 ) 

The Fourth generation of  Computer Took advantage of the invention of the microprocessor are Commonly Known as CPU. With integrated Circuit help make it possible for computer to fit easily on a desk and for the invention of laptop .

Microprocessor


Some of oldest computer to microprocessor include Altair 8800 and IBM 5100 . today computer still use a microprocessor despite the fourth generation being considered  to have ended in 2010 .

Fifth Generation ( 2010 present time ) 

the Fifth generation of computer are used to AI ( artificial Intelligence ) and exciting technology with many potential application around the world Leaps have been made AI technology and computer .

Artificial Intelligence 

On of most famous example of AI computer is IBM's Watson , which was featured on TV show jeopardy as Contestant . Other better example of AI is Apple Siri on the iphone and microsoft cortana  on window 8 and window 10 computer . The google search engine is also utilized to AI to process user searches .
