Generation Description Image
The first generation of computers used vacuum tubes for circuits and
First Generation
magnetic drums and magnetic tapes for memory. They were large,
(1940s-1960s) slow, and very expensive to operate.
The second generation of computers used transistors instead of
Second Generation
vacuum tubes and used magnetic cores for memory. These computers
(1960s-1970s) were smaller, faster, and more reliable.
The third generation of computers used large- scale integrated
Third Generation
circuits and floppy disks for storage. These computers were much
(1970s-1980s) more powerful and much less expensive than before
