With this advance, the age of modern wireless electronics is born.]]> 2023-08-20 21:05:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jesusjose20082012/2j6aqwoa6m0t0pmu/wish/2666797655 jesusjose20082012 https://padlet.com/jesusjose20082012/2j6aqwoa6m0t0pmu/wish/2666915207 The world would see transistors replace vacuum tubes in the second generation of computers. The transistor was invented at Bell Labs by John Bardeen, William Bradford Shockley and Walter Houser Brattain.]]> 2023-08-21 01:20:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jesusjose20082012/2j6aqwoa6m0t0pmu/wish/2666915207 jesusjose20082012 https://padlet.com/jesusjose20082012/2j6aqwoa6m0t0pmu/wish/2666917342 The second generation began when they replaced vacuum tubes with transistors. The transistor was far superior to the vacuum tube, allowing computers to become smaller, faster, cheaper, more energy-efficient, and more reliable than their first-generation predecessors.]]> 2023-08-21 01:22:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jesusjose20082012/2j6aqwoa6m0t0pmu/wish/2666917342 jesusjose20082012 https://padlet.com/jesusjose20082012/2j6aqwoa6m0t0pmu/wish/2666926696 The development of the integrated circuit was the hallmark of the third generation of computers. Transistors were miniaturized and placed on silicon chips, called semiconductors, which drastically increased the speed and efficiency of computers.

The Intel 4004 chip, developed in 1971, integrated all the components of the computer, from the central processing unit and memory to input/output controls, on a single chip.]]> 2023-08-21 01:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jesusjose20082012/2j6aqwoa6m0t0pmu/wish/2666933758 jesusjose20082012 https://padlet.com/jesusjose20082012/2j6aqwoa6m0t0pmu/wish/2666935107 Fifth-generation computer technology, based on artificial intelligence, is still in development, though there are some applications, such as voice recognition, that are being used today. The use of parallel processing and superconductors is helping to make artificial intelligence a reality. This is also so far the prime generation for packing a large amount of storage into a compact and portable device.]]> 2023-08-21 01:37:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jesusjose20082012/2j6aqwoa6m0t0pmu/wish/2666935107 jesusjose20082012 https://padlet.com/jesusjose20082012/2j6aqwoa6m0t0pmu/wish/2666936574 2023-08-21 01:38:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jesusjose20082012/2j6aqwoa6m0t0pmu/wish/2666936574
