Generation Of Computers - Advantages

 

Advantages

First Generations of Computers

·        Vacuum tubes were the only electronic component available during those days.

·        Vacuum tube technology made possible to make electronic digital computers.

·        These computers could calculate data in millisecond.

Second Generations of Computers

·        Smaller in size as compared to the first generation computers.

·        Used less energy and were not heated.

·        Better speed and could calculate data in microseconds.

·        Used faster peripherals like tape drives, magnetic disks, printer etc.

·        Used assembly language instead of Machine language.

Third Generations of Computers

·        Smaller in size as compared to previous generations.

·        More reliable.

·        Used less energy.

·        Better speed and could calculate data in nanoseconds.

Fourth Generations of Computers

·        More powerful and reliable than previous generations.

·        Small in size.

·        Fast processing power with less power consumption.

·        Fan for heat discharging and thus to keep cold.

·        Cheapest among all generation.

·        All types of high level languages can be used in this type of computers.

Fifth Generations of Computers

·        Most powerful and reliable than previous generations.

·        Very small in size.

·        Fast processing power with less power consumption.

·        Cheapest among all generation.

·        Voice instructions can be processed by these computers.
