The computers during the period 1945 – 1956 are regarded as the Second Generation Computers. During 1960′s, many second generation computers were used in business and by universities and government from computer manufactures such as IBM, Burroughs, etc. These second generation computers were also of solid state design, and contained transistors in place of vacuum [...]

First generation computers were characterized by the fact that operating instructions were made-to-order for the specific task for which the computers was to be used. Each computer has a different binary-coded program called a machine language that told it how to operate. This made the computer difficult to program and limited its versatility and speed. [...]

Microprocessor is a silicon chip that contains a CPU. Microprocessor has a single integrated circuit (IC, or microchip) which performs most of the functions of computer’s CPU. In the world of personal computers, the terms microprocessor and CPU are used interchangeably. At the heart of all personal computers and most workstations sits a microprocessor. Microprocessors [...]
