5 Generation of Computer | 4th Generation of computer | 5th Generation of Computer

5 Generation of Computer- there is little-bit confusion among 4th generation of computer and 5th generation of computer, Computer generation are categorized on the basis of "Revolutionary Discovery " which makes the computer easier from previous generation.

Introduction:  A computer is an electronic device that manipulates information or data. It has the ability to store, retrieve, and process data.

Now  computer can be used to type documents, send email, play games, and browse the Web. It can also be used to edit or create spreadsheets, presentations, video and even live streaming. It can also be used in the field of science, engineering, education, entertainment, medical, business etc..  

From the beginning of the computer  to improvement of  special electronic components of computer , today the modern computer has been transform. Its main objective was to make the computer size smaller and portable gradually, store more in formation and speed up the work. In view of that , the  evolution of computer complex system(computer) can be divided into five generation so far. It started around 1946 with the first Generation of Computer and evolving ever since .

5 Computer generation

1   **1st Generation :  1946-1959 is the period of first generation computer.  J.P.Eckert and J.W.Mauchy invented the first successful electronic computer called ENIAC, ENIAC stands for “Electronic Numeric Integrated And Calculator”. In this generation Vacuum Tube is the main electric equipment.This Generation of computer are so big, expensive and the speed is very slow. Its generates huge amount hit so for the maintenance  it's required big air-condition .

Example : ENIAC, EDVAC, UNIVAC, IBM-701, IBM-650

1st Generation Computer

**2nd Generation :   1959-1965 is the period of second-generation computer. Second generation computers were based on Transistor instead of vacuum tubes. Its size is smaller than the 1st generation computer. It's bigger, expensive, and its generates more hit than 3rd, 4th and 5th generation.

Example :   Honeywell 400, IBM 7094, CDC 1604,  CDC 3600 ,  UNIVAC 1108

2nd Generation Computer

**3rd Generation :  1965-1971 is the period of 3rd generation computer. These computers were based on Integrated circuits. IC was invented by Robert Noyce and Jack Kilby In 1958-1959. IC was a single component containing number of transistors. This generation of computer are comes on the table. 

Example :   PDP-8,  PDP-11,  ICL 2900, IBM 360, IBM 370.

3rd Generation  Computer

**4th Generation :  1971-1980 is the period of fourth generation computer. This technology is based on Microprocessor. A microprocessor is used in a computer for any logical and arithmetic function to be performed in any program. Graphics User Interface (GUI) technology was exploited to offer more comfort to users.

Example :   IBM 4341, DEC 10, STAR 1000, PUP 11.

4th Generation Computer

**5th Generation :  The period of the fifth generation in 1980-onward. This generation is based on KIPS Knowledge Information Process System (artificial intelligence). The aim of the fifth generation is to make a device which could respond to natural language input and are capable of learning and self-organization. This generation is based on ULSI(Ultra Large Scale Integration) technology resulting in the production of microprocessor chips having ten million electronic component.

Example :  Desktop, Laptop, NoteBook, UltraBook, Chromebook.
