The computers of third generation used the electrical components known as integrated circuits (IC’s) in place of transistors. The development of IC technology was the hallmark of third generation computers.  A single IC has many transistors, resistors and capacitors along ...

The second generation computers were marked by the use of transistors in place of vacuum tubes and magnetic cores for internal storage. This generation which ranges from the mid-1950s to the early 1960s saw the introduction of printed circuits. Although ...

The first generation of computers was marked by the use of electronic components known as vacuum tubes or thermionic values for circuitry and magnetic drums for memory. It ranges from the 1940s to the mid-1950s. These types of computers were ...

A computer is an electronic device that is widely used in this World of technology. Though humans are more intelligent than computers, many of the activities from business to space exploration are now carried out with the help of computers. ...
