The Computer Generation

The First Generation Of Computer
By going into World War 2, the countries involved in the war are trying to develop computers to exploit the potential of the strategy that owned a computer. This increases funding for the development of computers as well as speeding up the progress of computer engineering.

The Second Generation Of The Computer
In 1948 the invention of transistors greatly influenced the development of the computer. Transistors replace vacuum tube in televisions, radios, and computers. As a result the size of the electronic measuring machines rapidly.

The Third Generation computers
Although the transistor is in many ways surpass the vacuum tube, transistor, however generate considerable pans, which can potentially damage the internal parts of the computer. Quartz stone eliminates this problem, jack kilby, an engineer at texas instruments, developing integrated circuit (IC) in 1958. IC combines three electronic components in a tiny silicon disc made of quartz sand. On scientists then managed to place more components into a single chip called a semiconductor.

The fourth-generation computer
After IC, development goals became more clear: shrink the size of circuits andelectrical components. LSI can load hundreds of components in a chip. In 1980 the Very Large ScaleIntergration (VLSI) memuay thousands of components in a single chip. Ultra-LargeScale Intergration (ULSI) increase that number into millions. The ability to put up such a lot of components in a chip that was reduced in half the pieces of coin pushing fall in the price and the size of the computer. It also increases the power of work, efficiency and keterandalan the computer. The 4004 chip intl made in 1971 brought advances in IC with channel put the components of a computer, memory and control in a very small chip.

The fifth generation computers
The fifth generation computers having characteristics as follows:
1. start the PC mass produced in 1980 by IBM, which is famous for the IBM-PC, which subsequently conquered intl for Microsoft to hardware and software.
2. The process used is the 8088/8086 that set the standard for computer time, which uses a 16-bit process with base by one time.
