Computer all generations-computer world -2021

Computer Generations             

 Generation in computer terminology is a change in technology. A computer is being use it provides a frame work of the growth of computer industry. The term "generation" was used to difference between hardware and software that together makeup a computer system. There are totally fife computer generation known till today. Although there is a certain amount of overlap between different generations, the approximate period show against each are normally accepted. 



              The period first generation(1942-1955
            The computer of first  generation used vacuum tubes as the basic component of memory of CPU. These tubes, like  electronic bulb, produced a lot of heat and the isolation used to fuse frequently therefore, they were very expensive and only large organization were able to it. Punch cards, paper-tape and magnetic-tape was used as input and output device. the computer of this generation used machine code as the programming language. These computer used thousands of vacuum tubes. It was the only high speed device in these days.



    The period of second generation(1955-1964) 

 In this generation transistor replace vacuum tubes due to the properties of transistor, these computer were more powerful, more reliable, less expansive, smaller and cooler to operate then the first generation computer. All software front high level programming language like FORTRAN, COBOL, ALGOL, were used.     

 1. They were more then ten times faster then the first generation computer.

2. They were smaller then first generation computer and required smaller space.

3. They consume less power then the first generation computer.

4.    They had faster and larger primary and secondary storage as compare to first generation computer.

* Inventor of transistor : John burden, William Shockley.

   2  The period first generation(1942-1955

   3 The period of second generation(1955-1964)

   4 The period of third generation(1964-1975)    

   5 The period of fourth generation(1975-1989)

   6 Time period of fifth generation(1989-till that)



           The period of third generation(1964-1975

: The computer of third generation used integrated circuit(IC) in the place of transistor.

A single IC has many electronic component like transistor, capacitor along with the associate circuitry the IC technology was also known as "microelectronics" technology because it made it possible to integrate larger number of circuit into very small surface of silicon known as chip. FORTRAN and COBOL were the most high level language in those days.More high level like pascal.

1. They were more powerful then second generation computer.

2. They were smaller then second generation computer .

3. They had faster and larger primary and secondary storage as         compare to second generation computer.

4. Time sharing operating system were used in these computer.


         The period of fourth generation(1975-1989

          In this generation large scale integration(LSI) and very large scale integration(VLSI) were invented by which  was possible to integrate about one million electronic component on a single chip.

1 They had faster and larger primary and secondary storage as compare to third generation computer..

2. PC were smaller and cheaper the third generation computers.



     Time period of fifth generation(1989-till that) 

     In the fifth generation VLSI technology become ULSI (ultra large scale integration) technology.In this generation communication technology became faster day by day and more and computer were network tougher. The intern-ate made it possible for computer user sitting across the glob to communicate with each other within minutes.    

1. No air condition are required for notebook and desktop computer.

2. More user friendly interface with multimedia features.


The computer – this amazing technology went from a government/business-only technology to being everywhere from people’s homes, work places, to people’s pockets in less than 100 years.

Single partition allocation, Multiple-partition allocation and Fixed Equal-size partitions in operating system-computer world

  Single partition allocation, Multiple-partition allocation and Fixed Equal-size partitions in operating system Single partition allocation In this scheme operating system is residing in law memory and user process are executing in higher memory. Advantages It is simple  It is easy to understand and use Disadvantages User job is limited to the size of available memory. It leads to poor Utilization of processor and memory. Multiple-partition allocation  It is the simplest method for allocating  memory is divided memory into several fixed size partitions. Fixed Equal-size partitions It divides the main memory Into equal number of fixed sized partitions, operating system occupies some fixed portion and remaining portion of main memory is available for user processes. Advantages It supports multi programming. A process whose size is less then or equal to the partitions size can be loaded into any available partition. Disadvantages If a program is big to fit in...

Aggregation and Functional dependency in DBMS-computer world

  Aggregation and  Functional dependency in  DBMS Aggregation  In aggregation the relation between two entities is treated as a single entity. In aggregation relationship with its corresponding entity is aggregated into higher level entity . It is the process of compiling information on object, there by obstructing a higher level. On limitation of the ER model is that it can not Express relationship among relationships. The aggregation represent a relationship between a whole object and its component in other word we can say that using aggregation we can express relationship main relationships.  For example center entity offer the course entity act as a single entity in the relationship which is in a relationship with another entity visitor. In the real world if a visitor visits a coaching center they will never inquiry about the course or just about the center instead he will ask the inquiry about both. Functional dependency  Functional dependency play an ...

Difference between HTML and DHTML-computer world

     Difference between HTML and DHTML  HTML is a markup language, while DHTML is a collection of Technology.  DHTML creates dynamic web page, whereas HTML create static web page.  DHTML allow including small animations and dynamic menus in web pages but HTML is not able to do so.   HTML used events, methods, properties to insulate dynamism in HTML pages.   HTML is used to describe the web page but DHTML is a collection of JavaScript and style sheet in an HTML page. HTML sites will be show upon client side Technologies, while  DHTML site will be fast enough upon client side Technologies as most of entries are checked on browser itself and not waste time rendering to server for mistake.  HTML creates a plain web page without any style and scripts called as HTML. Whereas,  DHTML creates a page with HTML, CSS,DOM And scripts called as DHTML.  HTML cannot any server side code but XHTML may contain server side code.  ...
