9. Technology
Vacuum Tube
Punched Card
Magnetic Tape (1957)
Details
Important step of the advancement of
computer.
Vacuum tube is an electronic tube the size of
light bulbs (internal computer components)
Used to store data
It was a faster and a more compact method of
storing data. Using magnetic tape became more
reliable & cost effective.

10. 2nd Generation (1956-1963)
Scientists
Hardware Technology
John Bardeen
Transistor
Walter Houser Brattain Small devices use to transfer electronic
signal across a resistor.
William Shockley
Advantage of transistor:
• Smaller than vacuum tubes
• No needed no warm up time
• Consumed less energy
• Generated much less heat
• Faster & more reliable

11. 3rd Generation (1964 - 1971)
Introduced computer model :
• IBM 370 series
• CDC 7600
• B2500
Used for business & scientific program
Hardware Technology
Intergrated Circuit (IC)
Silicone chips were manufactured in 1961 at Silicon Valley. IC had
reduced the size & cost of computer
Semi conductor
Electronic circuit on a small chip of silicon.
Microchip
Replaced the Magnetic Core Memory
256 bit RAM
basic development of 1K bit RAM

12. FOURTH GENERATION (1971-PRESENT)
There are many types of computer models such as:
Apple Macintosh
IBM
DELL
ACER
During the fourth generation, hardware technology
such as silicone chips, microprocessor and storage
devices were invented.
A microprocessor is a specialized chip which is
developed for computer memory and logic.

Silicone chips
ADVANTAGES
Computers became 100 times smaller than ENIAC
(Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) the
first computer.
Gain in speed, reliability and storage capacity.
Personal and software industry boomed.

14. FIFTH GENERATION
(PRESENT & BEYOND)
Silicone chips
Processor
Robotics
Virtual reality
Intelligent systems
Programs which translate languages

15. NEW ERA OF COMPUTER
Mini Computers
Personal Computers
Mainframe Computers
Super Computers
Mobile Computer
