They were usually special-purpose machines developed in wartime America to assist the military. They included machines such as the ENIAC which was used to set up artillery firing grids for the US Armed Forces during World War II or the UNIVAC which was the first commercial computer line first produced in the early 1940s.(Campbell-Kelly et al., n.d.)]]> 2018-02-19 14:38:46 UTC https://padlet.com/karanvsinghb/ddmc9pzrpr6h/wish/232935781 karanvsinghb https://padlet.com/karanvsinghb/ddmc9pzrpr6h/wish/232937388 2018-02-19 14:42:48 UTC https://padlet.com/karanvsinghb/ddmc9pzrpr6h/wish/232937388 karanvsinghb https://padlet.com/karanvsinghb/ddmc9pzrpr6h/wish/232937588 While they were advanced machines for their time, they failed to meet certain requirements by governments since they required a lot of human intervention to function and were very slow at calculating]]> 2018-02-19 14:43:22 UTC https://padlet.com/karanvsinghb/ddmc9pzrpr6h/wish/232937588 karanvsinghb https://padlet.com/karanvsinghb/ddmc9pzrpr6h/wish/232948809 First coming into use during the late 1950s to the 1960s, the second generation of computers evolved from using vacuum tubes to using transistors as their primary form of circuitry. These computers were more efficient and could be produced for general use, such as in schools or Universities. Along with the shift from vacuum tubes to transistors came the first ever use of magnetic core memories. The first 48-bit machine was also introduced during this era of computers.

Moreover, most of them still used vacuum tubes in their circuitry for certain purposes.]]> 2018-02-19 15:16:12 UTC https://padlet.com/karanvsinghb/ddmc9pzrpr6h/wish/232950342 karanvsinghb https://padlet.com/karanvsinghb/ddmc9pzrpr6h/wish/232960769 2018-02-19 15:43:35 UTC https://padlet.com/karanvsinghb/ddmc9pzrpr6h/wish/232960769 karanvsinghb https://padlet.com/karanvsinghb/ddmc9pzrpr6h/wish/232961183 As the development of Integrated Circuits(IC) became more popular, a new generation of computers came to light. Using IC as their base, they were faster and more efficient than their predecessors in every way. Along with being faster, the IC inside them also allowed them to be incredibly versatile with their functions. They were used for everything from government matters to manufacturing purposes to general home use.

Hence, they replaced a chunk of workers in factories leaving them without a job]]> 2018-02-19 15:53:36 UTC https://padlet.com/karanvsinghb/ddmc9pzrpr6h/wish/232964610 Fourth Generation zaidmohsin2005 https://padlet.com/karanvsinghb/ddmc9pzrpr6h/wish/233068722 2018-02-19 22:00:09 UTC https://padlet.com/karanvsinghb/ddmc9pzrpr6h/wish/233068722 zaidmohsin2005 https://padlet.com/karanvsinghb/ddmc9pzrpr6h/wish/233068980 2018-02-19 22:02:06 UTC https://padlet.com/karanvsinghb/ddmc9pzrpr6h/wish/233068980 zaidmohsin2005 https://padlet.com/karanvsinghb/ddmc9pzrpr6h/wish/233069143 2018-02-19 22:03:03 UTC https://padlet.com/karanvsinghb/ddmc9pzrpr6h/wish/233069143 zaidmohsin2005 https://padlet.com/karanvsinghb/ddmc9pzrpr6h/wish/233069277 1971 to present.
Based on microprocessors.
Example and the very first 4th gen computer was based on Intel 4004 chip build using transistor's and LSI and VLSI technology 
Were developed during  MS-DOS and MS windows time period.

Scientists are working on fifth generation computers. The main aim of fifth generation computing is to develop computers that are respond to surroundings using different types of sensors and capable of learning. Fifth generation computers use super large scale integrated (SLSI) chips that contains millions of components on a single chip]]> 2018-02-19 22:07:53 UTC https://padlet.com/karanvsinghb/ddmc9pzrpr6h/wish/233069817 zaidmohsin2005 https://padlet.com/karanvsinghb/ddmc9pzrpr6h/wish/233069991 2018-02-19 22:08:59 UTC https://padlet.com/karanvsinghb/ddmc9pzrpr6h/wish/233069991 zaidmohsin2005 https://padlet.com/karanvsinghb/ddmc9pzrpr6h/wish/233070084
Present to future. 
Still in development.
The aim is to build self-learning computers using various kinds of technology and are able to provide a valid feedback.
super large scale integrated (SLSI) chips.
use parallel processing rather than serial processing.
parallel processing is much faster. 
Based on artificial intelligence.
Also called as artificial intelligence computers.
