Generation of computer

- 2. PRESENTATION THE GENERATION OF COMPUTER
- 3. INTRODUCTION • The history of computer development is often referred to in reference to the different generation of computing device.Each generation of computer is characterized by a major technological development that fundamentally change the way computers operate, resulting in increasingly smaller,cheaper, more powerful and more efficient and reliable devices.
- 4. FATHER OF COMPUTER • CHARLES BABBAGE (26-december-1791 – 18-October-1871) was an English polymath. A mathematician philosopher, inventor and mechanical engineer babbage originated the concept of the digital programmable computer. • Baggbage is considered by some to be “ FATHER OF COMPUTER”. Babbage is crediated with inventing the first mechanical computer.
- 5. What is computer? • A computer is an electronic device that manipulates information, or data. It has tha ability to store, retrieve, and process data. You may already know that you can use a computer to type documents, send emails, play games, and browse the web. • C - commonly • O - opreated • M - machine • P - particularly • U - used for • T - training • E - education • R - research
- 6. GENERATION OF COMPUTER • The computer has evolved from a large-sized simple calculating machine to a smaller but much more powerful machine. • The evolution of computer to the current state is defined in term of the generation of computer. • Each generation of computer design based on the new technological development, resulting in better, cheaper and smaller computer that are more powerful, faster and efficient than their predecessors.
- 7. GENERATION OF COMPUTER Based on the characteristic of various computers developed from time to time, they are categorized as generation of computers.
- 9. FIRST GENERATION COMPUTER TIME PERIOD : 1951 To 1959 SIZE : Very large system TECHNOLOGY : Vacum tubes PROCESSING SPEED : Very slow CHARACTERIZED BY:- • Use punch card for input and output. • Use magnetic tapes for data store. • Difficult to program. • Used magnetic language to write program.
- 10. ADVANTAGE : • It was only electronic device. • First device to hold memory. DISADVANTAGE : • Too bulkey i.e large un size. • Vacuum tube burn frequently. • They were product heat. • Maintenance problems.
- 11. SECOND GENERATION COMPUTER TIME PERIOD : 1959 To 1963 SIZE : Smaller TECHNOLOGY : Transistors PROCESSING SPEED : Faster CHARACTERIZED BY:- • Magnetic cores. • Magnetic disk. • Use high level language. • Easier to proram.
- 12. ADVANTAGE : • Size reduce considerably. • They very fast. • Very much realiable. DISADVANTAGE : • They over heated quickly. • Maintenance problems.
- 13. THIRD GENERATION COMPUTER TIME PERIOD :- 1963 To 1975 SIZE :- Small as compared to 2nd generation computer. TECHNOLOGY : ICS (integrated circuits) incorporated many transistors & electronic circuits on a single chip. PROCESSING : Faster than 2nd generation computer. CHARACTERIZED BY:- • Mini computer accessible by multiple users from remote terminal.
- 14. ADVANTAGE : • ICs are very small in size. • Improved performance. • Production cost cheap. DISADVANTAGE : • ICs are sophisticated.
- 15. FOURTH GENERATION COMPUTER TIME PERIOD :- 1975 To Today SIZE :- Small as compared to first generation computer. TECHNOLOGY : VLSI (very large scale integration) incorporated many million of transistors & electronic circuits on a single chip. PROCESSING : Faster than first generation computer. CHARACTERIZED BY:- The personal computer and user friendly micro-programs, very fast processor chip high level language OOP (object orient programming).
- 16. FIFTH GENERATION COMPUTER TIME PERIOD : Future technology. TECHNOLOGY : AI(artificial intelligence).
