There really isn't exactly a "first" computer. Some of the really early ones:
- Harvard Mark I - 3 operations per second
- ABC - 30 additions/subtractions per second
- ENIAC - 5000 additions/subtractions per accumulator per second
- Zuse Z3 - roughly 1 to 3 operations per second
- Colossus - roughly 5000 enciphered characters per second
Well, Say you wanted to delete a file in 'my documents' called 'myfile.doc' this will compare both computers...
Old:
You would have to type a line of code to move to the directory 'my documents' then you would have to type another line of code to locate the file 'myfile.doc' then type another to delete it.
New:
All you need to do now is click on 'my documents' right - click on the file 'myfile.doc' and click on delete.
So as you can identify from this, old computers were very slow!

5 difference of 4th generation of computer and 5th generation of computer?
This is hard to answer, because there is no industry standard for what a 'generation' is. It is entirely subjective. You will need to define a 'generation' before a comparison is given. IE, there are 3 generations of AMD Phenom II processor, and over 70 generations of AMD processors. There are five major generations in processor bitrate. There are over 400 generations of individual progressments in major computer technology. There are nearly 50 different generations of individual architecture design.
