3. Topics for discussion
Generation 1 ( the first digital computer)
Generation 2
Generation 3
Generation 4
Generation 5
4. Generation 1
This is when the first digital computer was built
It was started to be built in 1937 and finished in 1939
John Vincent Atanasoff, and Cliford Berry
At Iowa State University
5. Generation 2
This invention of the transistor which was faster, smaller and
required considerably less power to operate
This was introduced in 1959
6. Generation 3
By the late 1960’s devices which included more than one
circuit on a single silicon chip became available
7. Generation 4
In about 1970 the technology was available to place an entire
CPU on a single chip and the micro processor was born.
8. Generation 5
Current trends now are to exploit the advantages of
computer systems which can contain literally thousands
of computers.
This means that thousands of computations can be taking
place at the same time.
9. Positives
One positive that the computer has is that it makes it easier
to find information and faster to find it.
Another positive is that they are more efficient, then they
used to be.
Another positive is that it makes it easier to talk to friends on
Aol or Yahoo.
10. Negatives
One negative is that they can be very slow
Another negative is that it might not find the exact
information you need, or it might give you something you
don’t need.
11. Reflection
One important thing we learned was that computers are a
great way to find information on many topics.
Our opinion is that we are glad that John Atanasoff and his
colleague designed the computer. It was a great idea!
