History of computers

  • Period: to

    First Generation

    Many people bought the first generation. Since it was something very innovative for the time. Computers were very large, expensive and required huge amounts of electricity.
  • ENIAC

    ENIAC

    ENIAC was the first model. Was characterised by the use of vacuum tubes of the main components.
  • Period: to

    Second Generation

    The mos sucesful computer was the IBM 1401, in 1959.
  • IBM 1401

    IBM 1401

    It was characterist by the replacement of vacuum volves with transitors, and there were smaller, faster, more reliable machines that used lees electricity.
  • IBM 360

    IBM 360

    Integrated circuits made faster, cheaper and smaller than the second generation of computers.
  • Period: to

    Third Generation

    In the third generation of computers, the integrated circuit (IC) was created. The most popular computer was de IBM 360.
  • PDP-10

    PDP-10

    Although the PDP-10 was created in the 1960s, it became popular at the beginning of the fourth generation, enjoying its heyday between 1973 and 1975.
  • Period: to

    Fourht Generation

    It was characterized by the use of microprocessors, small chips that integrate thousands of circuits into a single component. This allowed computers to become smaller, faster, more efficient and more accesible. The most popular was the PDP-10.
  • Period: to

    Fifth Generation

    This generation is the most advanced generation of computers.
  • Future Computers

    Future Computers

    Are the computers of the future, they use artificial intelligence to learn, think on their own, and understand how we speak.
