Computer Generanation



TYPES OF 

1. First Generation of Computers(1940 – 1956): The period from 1940-1956 was the period of first-generation computers. They are basically based on vacuum tubes, and vacuum tubes are used as the basic components for memory and circuitry for CPU (Central Processing Unit). For e.g., UNIVAC-1 And ENIVAC

2. Second Generation of Computers (1957 – 1963): The second generation of computers consists of two types of devices transistors and magnetic core. For e.g., IBM 1401, IBM 1920, etc.

3. Third Generation of Computers(1964 – 1971): Jack Kilby invented the Integrated Circuit. This Integrated Circuit replaced the use of transistors in the third generation of computers. Integrated Circuits itself consists of many transistors, capacitors, and resistors and due to this third-generation computers are smaller in size, efficient, and more reliable. For e.g., CDC 1700, IBM-360 Series, etc.

4. Fourth Generation of Computers(1972 onward): VLSI (Very Large Scale Integrated) Circuit or they are also known as microprocessors are used in Fourth generation computers. Microprocessor chip is made up of thousands of Integrated Circuits build on a single silicon chip. The use of Personal Computer(PCs) increased in this generation and First Personal Computer (PC) was developed by IBM. For e.g., Apple, CRAY-1, etc. 

5. Fifth Generation of Computers(Present and Future): It is based on Artificial intelligence (AI) software. Artificial intelligence describes the medium and way of making computers like humans, the way human think, the way humans act, etc. and this is an emerging branch and has all the scopes for research work too. For e.g., PARAM 10000, IBM notebooks, etc.

  Last Updated :  21 Jun, 2023 A computer is a piece of electronic equipment. Because it is powered by electricity, it is referred to as an electronic device. It accepts data, processes it, and outputs the appropriate results. The output of a computer system is also known as the result of the computer system. The computer system is commonly used nowadays. It is employed in a variety of fields due to its quick processing, data storage, data or information accessibility, data transmission, communication methods, and instant connectivity. The basic structure of the computer system includes major devices like  Input Devices  (mouse, keyboard, joystick, microphone, camera, etc.)  CPU  (Central Processing Unit)  Output Devices  (Monitors and printers, etc.)  help to run the computer system smoothly.  A programmed set of instructions used to perform a given task is referred to as software. Users are unable to see the software. Users are only ab...

Plants that grow in different types of soils

 Examples of plants that grow best in Sandy soil: Photo: Edward Gohlich Sandy soil can be a challenge for gardeners. It has a reputation for being one of the poorest soils for growing plants because it’s low in nutrients and doesn’t hold much water. It also warms and cools quickly in response to air temperature, causing some plants to go dormant earlier in the fall than they would in, say, a rich,  loamy soil . Sandy soil has one big upside, though: It drains well. It’s an excellent choice for plants that like dry conditions and are prone to root rot. In general, plants that prefer sandy soil are happy being dry and do well with few nutrients—meaning less watering and fertilizing for you. Check out this list of flowers, herbs, vegetables, and trees that thrive in sandy soil. 01 of 21 Yarrow Matthew Benson Yarrow   (Achillea millefolium)  is a tough perennial with feathery, fern-like foliage and showy flowerheads that are clusters of tiny white, yellow, red, or pink f...
