The second generation of computers are transistors.
Disadvantage=Constant maintenance was required.
Advantage=They were more reliable than the first generation of computers.
The third generation of computers are integrated circuits.
Disadvantage=air conditioning was required.
Advantage=Better accuracy.
The fourth generation of computers are microprocessor.
Advantage= less need of repair.
