The 5 Generations of Computers
1956 - 1963: By the end of the 50's, computers were then being run by transistors. Even though they were invented in the late 40's, they were not very much used, however they were a huge improvement over the vacuum tubes and took up less place but still took up lots of heat and energy and cost less!
1964 - 1971: The transistors were now put into silicon chips ad because of this, the speed and efficiency increased immensely! The computers were much smaller and were used with a keyboard and monitor.
1972 - 2010: Intel was invented. The Internet. The World Wide Web. Everything was changing and became more modern. The power increased, networks were created and laptops and mobile phones were invented in just a small period of time.
Present Day (End of 2013/Early 2014 -): Voice recognition, Touch screens and more, computers are becoming more and more advanced, even today.
