Computer History | MCQs

Explanation

The main electronic component used in first-generation counterparts was Vacuum Tubes and Valves.

Leo is called the first-generation computer.

The five generations of computers:

1. First Generation (1946-1959 or 1940-1956): Vacuum tube-based technology (e.g., ENIAC).
2. Second Generation (1959-1965 or 1956-1963): Transistor-based technology.
3. Third Generation (1965-1971 or 1964-1971): Integrated circuit-based technology.
4. Fourth Generation (1972-1980): VLSI microprocessor-based technology.
5. Fifth Generation (1980-present): ULSI microprocessor-based technology, with a focus on artificial intelligence.

Explanation

The term ‘Computer’ is derived from the Latin word “computare”

which means to “to calculate”, “to count”, “to sum up” or “to think together”.

So, more precisely the word computer means a “device that performs computation“.
