Understanding the Generations of Computers: A Comprehensive Overview

Hello Friends once again welcome to your own blog and today in this post we are going to talk about very important information, yes today in this article we are going to talk about the generation of computers.

It is very important to know about this in view of today's era. And by the way today when we use computers. So often the question remains in everyone's mind that how has the computer developed? OR the first computer was created in which generation or how much generation of computer has till date. Similar questions remain in the mind today. That is why today we will learn more about Computer of Generation.

For your better information, tell that computer is divided into 5 generations. Every generation computer was based on its technology.

As new technology advances, there are changes in the generation of every computer. Which we call as Computer of Generation. This is divided into 5 different Generations, which we will know in detailed one by one below.

Generation of computers - कंप्यूटर की पीढ़ियां

We all know that computer is an electronic device. This works to transfer information or data from here to there. Nowadays, computers are being used everywhere from education to hospital everywhere.

Let me tell you that which computer is being used everywhere today. This complex device was made in 1942 to the Computer of First Generation, which was limited to computation in a way, but as technology progressed, these computers were made more advance.

Based on the major changes in the computer, 5 is divided into Generation. Let us now know how these computers were developed in which generation or what was used in the computer of which generation…

First Generation of Computer -  कंप्यूटर की पहली पीढ़ी (1942-1956)

Vacuum Tubes Computer was the first generation computer. Was developed by J. P. Eckert and J. W. Mauchy. In these computers, 20,000 vacuum tubes, 10,000 capacitors and 70,000 resistors required 150,000 watts of power.

This computer was very large in size and it required a whole room to keep them. It weighed more than 30 tons. Due to the large size of the computer size, they used to generate a lot of heat, so they needed (AC) to keep them cool.

Vacuum Tubes used computers primarily from 1940 to 1956. This computer was mainly used for calculation; hence the computer of this generation was also called ENIAC ("Electronic Numeric Integrated and Calculator").

First Generation Of Computer Name:- 

• ENIAC 

• EDVAC 

• UNIVAC 

• IBM-701 

• IBM-650

First Generation of Computer Specialties:-

1.Many air conditioners were used in this generation computers.

2. Use of Vacuum Tubes was used to develop these computers.

3. It was very delicate.

4. Drums were used for memory in these computers.

Second Generation of Computer - कंप्यूटर की दूसरी पीढ़ी (1956-1965)

The second generation computer used the Transistor instead of the Vacuum Tube which was much smaller than the first generation computer. And it had a much faster working capacity. The TX-0 Computer was the first computer to use transistors. This was developed by William Shockley. Second Generation Computer was used based on technology (1956–1965).

Second Generation of Computers Name:- 

• IBM 1620 

• IBM 7094 

• CDC 1604 

• CDC 3600 

• UNIVAC 1108 

Second Generation of Computer Specialties:-

1. Use of Transistor was used to develop these computers.

2. Languages ​​like Programming Languages ​​like COBOL and Format were developed.

3. The printer and operating system were used in this generation computer.

Third Generation Of Computer - कंप्यूटर की तीसरी पीढ़ी (1965-1975)

The use of I.C (Integrated Circuit) in the Computer of Third Generation was developed by Robert Noyce and Jack Kilby.

Many devices were used to develop this generation computer such as - Transistors, Resistance and other electronic devices. The use of these devices made the computers of this generation quite small. The use of IC in computers helped in reducing the size of computers as compared to the second generation computers, meaning that the computers of this generation had reached the person. And they were used in homes. In this Generation (Time Sharing and Multi Programming Operating System) was used. Computer of Third Generation was used till (1965-1975).

Third Generation of Computer Name:-

• IBM-360 Series

• Honeywell-6000 Series

• PDP(Personal Data Processor)

• IBM-370/168

• TDC-316

Third Generation of Computer Specialties:-

1. I.C (Integrated Circuit) was used to develop the Computer of Third Generation.

2. The working speed of these computers was very fast.

3. Their size and weight according to First and Second Generation were quite low.

Fourth Generation Of Computer - कंप्यूटर की चौथी पीढ़ी (1975-1988)

In Fourth Generation, Micro Processor was developed which was used in Computer of Fourth Generation. With the use of microprocessor, this computer became very small, their performance was also very fast, and these computers could be taken anywhere. That is why the computer of this generation was known as Personal Computer. In this generation, computer high-level language like C, C++ real-time programming was used. Devices such as Mouse, peripheral etc. were developed to run and promote the computers of this generation. Third Generation Computer was used until (1975–1988).

Fourth Generation of Computer Name:-

• DEC 10

• STAR 1000

• PDP 11

• CRAY-1 (Super Computer)

• CRAY-X-MP (Super Computer)

Fourth Generation of Computer Specialties:-

1. Microprocessor was developed at Fourth Generation.

2.His working style was quite fast.

3. Many tasks could be done concurrently in these computers.

4. More storage.

Fifth Generation Of Computer - कंप्यूटर की पांचवी पीढ़ी (Since 1988)

Fifth Generation Computer was developed in 1988. It is also a Microprocessor-based computer. The computers we are using right now, such as laptop, desktop, notebook etc.

This computer comes under Fifth Generation itself. Fifth Generation Computer aims to develop devices that respond to natural language input and are capable of learning and self-organization.

Today's computers are so advanced that they are being used today in college, engineering, building construction, space and other types of research work. Meaning that we can say that the computer of Fifth Generation has made human life quite easy. And today their utility has increased so much; it has become very difficult to work without a computer.

Fifth Generation of Computer Name:- 

• Desktop 
• Laptop 
• Notebook 
• Ultrabook 
• Chromebook

Fifth Generation of Computer Specialties:-

1.Fast Performance. 

2.Fifth Generation computer size has become quite small. Such as laptop, notebook etc. 

3. Fast speed. 

4. High storage capacity.
