  Generation of computers – Computer Knowledge Ist Generation: (1940-1956) Vacuum tubes got use in circuits. These computers are very large in size. It requires a large amount of electricity. They produce more heat. They are less revival. Ex.: ENIAC, UNIVAC. IInd Generation: (1957-1962) Vacuum tubes got the replacement by transistors in circuits. Small size as compared to Ist Generation computers. Less amount of heat Generation. Less electricity consumption. Ex.: IBM 350 IIIrd Generation: (1963-1972) Transistors got the replacement by I.C. in circuits. (I.C.- Integrated circuits) Small size as compared to IInd Generation computer. Less amount of heat as compared to IInd Generation computer. Less electricity consumption. Faster and more accurate than the IInd Generation computer. Ex.: IBM 360/370 IVth Generation: (1973-Present) LSI and LSVI technologies are used. LSI- Large-scale integration. LSVI-Very large scale integration. Apple-II, STAR 1000 Vth Generation: (Present & Beyond) I
