As early as the 17th century, mathematicians were working to build machines that could perform basic math functions like addition and multiplication. In 1804, Charles Babbage designed the difference engine, an early general purpose computer with a mechanical memory. Generations of computers are defined by their underlying technology, starting with vacuum tubes in the 1940s, then transistors in the 1950s, integrated circuits in the 1960s, microprocessors in the 1970s, and artificial intelligence applications today.Charles Babb

Charles Babbage was a British mathematician born in 1791 who invented the first working difference machine, laying the foundations for modern computers. He also designed plans for an early general-purpose computer called the Analytical Engine, which was never built during his lifetime. Babbage's pioneering work in computing inspired generations of engineers and scientists to continue advancing the technology that has now led to over a billion computers worldwide that have transformed society.Charles babbage - Father of Computing.

Charles Babbage, born on December 26, 1791, is known as the 'father of computing' for originating the concept of a programmable computer and inventing the first mechanical computer. His key inventions include the difference engine and the analytical engine, which laid the groundwork for modern computing despite never being fully completed due to funding and design challenges. Babbage was also a prominent figure in mathematics and astronomy, co-founding the Royal Astronomical Society in 1820.Cyber law In India: its need & importance

The document summarizes the four generations of computers from 1945 to present day. The first generation used vacuum tubes and were large and unreliable. The second generation used transistors, which were smaller and more durable. The third generation used integrated circuits, making computers even smaller and cheaper. The fourth generation used VLSI technology, allowing millions of transistors to fit on a single chip and making computers widely affordable for homes and schools. Today's computers are classified as fourth generation and have tremendous processing power and data storage capacity.GENERATION OF COMPUTERS.
