Google.com is a good tool. good luck

Answer 2

First generation: 1950-1959 included UNIVAC from IBM
They were electronic, using vacuum tubes as their main components.
They produced tremendous amounts of heat and required special air conditioned rooms and massive amounts of power.
They were operated from a control console rather than by rewiring.
They used punch cards for input and stored the results magnetically, usually on magnetic drums.
They used a symbolic language for programming rather than assembly language.
They were unreliable due to frequent mechanical breakdowns.

Second Generation: 1959-1965 transistor power computers
They had fewer breakdowns because transistors did not burn out like tubes did
Replaced magnetic drum for memory with a memory core
Replaced punch cards with magnetic tape - giving them randon access to data
Modular in design with a motherboard to which all other components attached
High level languages including FORTRAN and COBOL
Separated by size into mainframe and minicomputers

Thrid Generation: 1965-1970 integrated chip introducted
Greater processing speed - allowed for time sharing
More storage capacity
Intro of removable storage (would become floppy drive)
Time-sharing form remote terminals
More flexiable software, including first OS (operating systems) that would allow a computer to be set up for specific functions

Fourth Generation: 1970 - Present - Microprocessor
The modern day PC
