What are the advantages of different generations of computer over one another?

Answer 1

Every genration has advantages over other genration of computers, second generation of computers are in small in size as compared to first generation of computers, as well as faster in speed and more reliable, so as third genration of computers are more faster than ist and 2nd generation of computers, fast in speed, more reliable, more commercial use, less heat generation..... simpliarly 4th generation of computers are fastest than all the three generation of computers and more reliable, network fascilities and etc.....

Answer 2

ADVANTAGES:

1.Smaller in size as compared to first

generation computers.

2.More reliable.

3.Less heat generated.

4.These computers were able to reduce computational times from milliseconds to microseconds.

5.Less prone to hardware failures.

6.Better portability.

7.Wider commercial use.

8.Immediate functioning, no time for heating necessary.

9.Minimal losses and hardly any development of heat.

10.Smaller measurements and low weight.

11.Smaller mechanical sensitivity.

12.Fast switching

13.Lower supply voltage.

DISADVANTAGES:

1.Air-conditioning required.

2.Frequent maintenance required.

3.Manual assembly of individual components into a functioning unit was required.

4.Commercial production was difficult and costly.

5. Costly and had less memory than ICs.

6.Require much space than ICs.

Answer 3

The advantages are that they are newer and perhaps faster. They are sometimes more difficult to use and do not take all of your regular programs.
