Generation of computers

Generation of computers :

First Generation : First generation computers, starting with the UNIVAC I in 1951, uses vacuum tubes.
Second Generation : Second generation systems in the late 1950s replaced with transistors and used magnetic cores for memories.
Third generation : Third Generation computers, beginning in the mid 1960s, used the first integrated circuits(IBM 360, CDC 6400) and the first operating systems.
Fourth Generation : Fourth Generation, which starts in the mid 1970s, brought us computers made entirely of chips. IT introduced distributed processing and office automation.
Fifth Generation : Fifth Generation computers are expected to combine very large Scale integration (VLSI) with sophisticated approaches to computing, including artificial intelligence and true distributed Processing.
