4th generation of computer.



  • Here again we will discuss about fourth generation of computer.
  • The time period of 4th generation of computer was ( 1971 - 1980 ).
  • It contains very large scale integrated ( VLSI) circuits.
  • VLSI circuit having 5000 transistors and other circuit elements with their associated circuits on a single chip made it possible to have microcomputers of 4th generations. 
  • Fourth generation computers became more powerful compact, reliable, and affordable. 
  • It also give rise to personal computer revolution .
  • In this generation time sharing , real time networs , distributed operating system were used. 
  • All the high level language skills like C, C++, DATABASE etc were used in this generation. 
  • It bring great development in the field of network aswellas computers became easliy available. 
  • Maintenance costs wass lesser than the last generations.

First generation of computer.

Time period of first generation was ( 1945 - 1956 ) .  The first computer system use vaccum tubes for circuitry and magnetic drums for memory.  The UNIVAC and ENIAC computer are the example of first generation computer. It consumes high power of electricity.  Cost maintenance was so much heigh.  The speed of first generation computer was very low.  Size was very big almost it cover whole room.  The accuracy of this generation of computer was not good

Third generation of computer.

Here we will discuss about third generation of computer.  Time period of third generation of computer was ( 1964 - 1971 ) .  The computer of third generation, used integrated circuit insted of vaccum tubes. ( ICs ) in the place of transistos.  A single IC has many transistor, resistors and capacitors along with associated circuitry.  It was more reliable in comparison to previous two generations.  The size was small comparison to first and second generations.  Required lesser maintenance.  Consume lesser electricity and generate less heat, that's why AC was not required.  It supports to heigh level language, and costly in price and fast.
