Second generation of computer.

A transistor computer, now often called a second generation of computer.

  1. In this generation of computer we use discreate transistors insted  of vaccum tubes .
  2. Time period of second generation of computer was ( 1956 - 1960 ) . 
  3. It comsume less power in comparison to first generation of computer. 
  4. Cost Mantainanse of this generation of computer was heigh but in comparison to  first generation it was low  
  5. It requires AC because it producess lots of heate. 
  6. Size of this generation of computer was smaller from first generation of computer. 
  7. Accuracy was quite good in comparison to first generation of computer.

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. 

Fifth generation of computer.

the fifth generation, the  VLSI technology  became ULSI  (Ultra Large Scale Integration) technology, resulting in the production of  microprocessor  chips having ten million electronic components.  This generation is based on parallel processing  hardware and AI (Artificial Intelligence) software. AL is an emerging branch in computer science which interprets the mean and method of making computer think like human beings.  All the heigh level language like c, c++, java, . Net etc are used in this generation.  It is a type of robotics and having neural network game playing.  Development of expert system to make decisions in real life situations.
