A vacuum tube computer, now termed a first-
generation computer, is a computer which
uses vacuum tubes for logic circuitry. A
second generation computer which is also
called transistor computer is a computer
which uses discrete transistors instead of
vacuum tubes. The computers of third
generation used Integrated Circuits (ICs) in
place of transistors. A single IC has many
transistors, resistors, and capacitors along
with the associated circuitry. The period
of fourth generation was from 1971-1980.
Computers of fourth generation used Very
Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits. VLSI
circuits have about 5000 transistors.
