Called the Mark I, this computer was used only for calculations and weighed five tons. The first generation of computers took place from 1940 to 1956 and was extremely large in size. The inner workings of the computers at that time were unsophisticated. These early machines required magnetic drums for memory and vacuum tubes that worked as switches and amplifiers. second generation of computing. Although first invented in 1947, transistors weren’t used considerably in computers until the cessation of the 1950s. They were a huge development over the vacuum tube, despite the fact still subjecting computers to destroying different levels of heat. Third generation involves the introduction of Integrated Chips. Fourth generation conputers introduced microprocessors which enabled input output rapid functioning.Current generation is included in the fifth generation and computers are changing day by day with novel inventions.
