Computer Education Part-1 | Introduction and Generations of Computer in Hindi - कंप्यूटर की पीढ़ियां

This is #1st_Part of computer education and we talked about #Computer_Generations in this video.

A computer is a machine or device that performs processes, calculations and operations based on instructions provided by a software or hardware program.

First Generation: Vacuum Tubes (1946-1959) The first computer systems used vacuum tubes for circuitry and magnetic drums for memory, and were often enormous, taking up entire rooms. The UNIVAC and ENIAC computers are examples of first-generation computing devices

Second Generation: Transistors (1959-1965) The world would see transistors replace vacuum tubes in the second generation of computers. The transistor was invented at Bell Labs in 1947 but did not see widespread use in computers until the late 1950s.

Third Generation: Integrated Circuits (1965-1971) The development of the integrated circuit was the hallmark of the third generation of computers. Transistors were miniaturized and placed on silicon chips, called semiconductors, which drastically increased the speed and efficiency of computers.

Fourth Generation of computers was between 1971 – 1980. These computers used the VLSI technology or the Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits technology. Therefore they were also known as the microprocessors. ... Examples are STAR 1000, CRAY-X-MP(Super Computer), DEC 10, PDP 11, CRAY-1.

The term "fifth generation" was intended to convey the system as being a leap beyond existing machines. In the history of computing hardware, computers using vacuum tubes were called the first generation; transistors and diodes, the second; integrated circuits, the third; and those using microprocessors, the fourth.
