Lecture about the Generations

Sir Tom discussed the different generations of computer. I was very amazed of it because of the structure and the functions of computers in such early times...
To help you with these... I summarize the lesson.

1st Generation: Vacuum Tubes(1940-1955)

• for circuiting and magnetic drums for memory
• the input to the computer was through puncehed cards and paper tubes
• software tech : machine language

2nd Generation: Transistors(1956-1963)

• Magnetic Core Techonology
• assembly language
• much smaller than Vacuum Tubes

3rd Generation: Integrated Circuit (IC)... (eye see)

• multiple transistors
• placed on a silicon chip
•                     |
•                     -----> semiconductor
• gets much smaller than transistors

4th Generation: Microprocessor(1971-present)

• LSI Large Scale Integration
• Its much smaller than integrated circuit

5th Generation: Artificial Inteligence(?-present)

• capable of learning and self-orientation
