Welcome To Our Presentation: Created by Tarikur Rahman - IUBAT

This document discusses the history and generations of computers from ancient counting tools to modern devices. It covers early mechanical calculators like the abacus, Napier's bones, and Pascaline. The first generation of computers used vacuum tubes and magnetic drums. The second generation introduced transistors while the third used integrated circuits. The fourth generation brought microprocessors and the fifth generation focuses on artificial intelligence, powerful processors, and natural language interfaces. The generations reflect changes in the underlying computer technologies over time.

Summary
30

 Generation in computer terminology is a change in technology a computer is/was being used.


Initially, the generation term was used to distinguish between varying hardware technologies. But
nowadays, generation includes both hardware and software, which together make up an entire
computer system.
