    Generations of Computers
    Generation in computer terminology is a change in technology a computer is/was being used.

    Initially, the generation term was used to distinguish between varying hardware technologies.

    Nowadays, generation includes both hardware and software, which together make up an entire

    computer system.

    There are five computer generations known till date. Each generation has been discussed in

    detail along with their time period and characteristics. In the following table, approximate dates

    against each generation has been mentioned, which are normally accepted.

    Following are the main five generations of computers.

    Sl. No. Generation & Description

    1 First Generation
    The period of first generation: 1946-1959. Vacuum tube based.

    2 Second Generation
    The period of second generation: 1959-1965. Transistor based.

    3 Third Generation
    The period of third generation: 1965-1971. Integrated Circuit based.

    4 Fourth Generation
    The period of fourth generation: 1971-1980. VLSI microprocessor based.
