Generations!!of!!Computer
1) First!!generation!!computers:
• Used!!Vacuum!!tubes
• The! ! ENIAC!! (Electronic! ! Numerical! ! Integrator! ! and! ! Calculator! ! ),! ! the
first!!general! ! purpose! ! programmable! ! electronic!!computer(built! ! by!!J.! ! P.! ! Eckert!!and! ! John!!

3) Third! ! Generation!! Computers:
• Silicon! ! chips! ! or! ! IC(Integrated Circuits)!!that!!contain!! very!! small!!transistors!!were
developed!! by!! Jack!! Kilby
• Transistors!!were!!replaced!!by!!IC's.
• It! ! reduced! ! size,! ! increased!!speed!!and!!efficien and!!became!!cheaper.
cy,
• High!!Level! ! Language! ! BASIC! ! (Beginner’s! ! All! ! Purpose! ! Symbolic! ! Instruction! ! Code! ! )
!! was!!developed
• Moore's! ! Law! ! states! ! that! ! the! ! number!!of! ! transistors! ! on! ! IC's! ! doubles! ! approximately! ! every! ! two
years.
• The!!popular!!computers!!are! ! IBM!!360!!and!!IBM!!370.
4) Fourth!!Generation!!Computers:
• Microprocessors!!are!!used!!(a!!single!!chip!!with!!Large!!Scale!!of!!Integration!!(LSI)!!of!!electron
ic!!components)
• Later!!LSI!!circuits!!were!!replaced!!by!!VLSI!!(!!Very!!Large!!Scale!!Integration!!).
• IBM!!PC!!and!!Apple!!II!!are!!popular!!computers.!!Programming!!Languages!!like.!!C,!!C++,!!Java!!etc.we
re!!developed.
e). Fifth!!Generation!!Computers:
• They!!are!!based!!on!!Artificial!!Intelligence!!(AI).
• AI!!is!!the!!ability!!of!!machines!!to!!simulate!!human!!intelligence
• Presently!!in!!the!!development!!stage.
• Common!!AI!!programming!!Languages-!!LISP!!and!!Prolog.
Program:
The!!set!!of!!detailed!!instructions!!given!!to!!a!!computer!!for!!executing!!specific!!tasks.
Programming! ! languages! ! are! ! artificial! ! languages! ! designed! ! to! ! give! ! instructions! ! to! ! the! ! computers.
• Machine!!language!!(Low!!Level!!Language!!-
LLL).consists!!of!!0's!!and!!1's.! ! This!!is!!the!!only!!language!!understood!!by!!the!!computer.
• Assembly!!language,!!with!!English!!like!!words!!instead!!of!!0's!!and!!1's!!EDSAC!!(Electronic!!Delay!!
Storage!!Automatic!!Calculator!!)!!built!!in!!1949!!was!!the!!first!!computer!!to!!use!!assembly!!languag
e.
• Later,!!High!!Level!!Languages!!(HLL)!!like,!!BASIC,!!C,!!C++,!!Java!!etc!!were!!developed.
Algorithm!!and!!Computer!!programs:
An!!algorithm!!is!!a!!step!!by!!step!!procedure!!to!!solve!!a!!problem.
Theory!!of!!computing:
• This!!branch!!deals!!with!!how!!efficiently!!problems!!can!!be!!solved!!based!!on!!computation!!mod
els!!and!!related!!algorithms.!!The!!study!!is!!based!!on!!a!!mathematical!!abstraction!!of!!computers!!
called!!model!!of!!computation.
• The!!most!!commonly!!used!!model!!is!!Turing!!machine!!named!!after!!the!!computer!!scientist!!Alan
