second generation of computing
Probably the same thing as was used in second generation computers.
There have been supercomputers in all generations of computers. As the definition of supercomputer is simply any computer having at least 10 times the performance of currently available high performance computers, the very fastest computers of any generation are supercomputers. It is usually scientific and cryptographic applications that drive the need for supercomputers.Some examples of supercomputers from various computer generations are:IBM NORC, first generationUNIVAC LARC, second generationIBM 7030 Stretch, second generationCDC 6600, second generationCDC 7600, second generationILLIAC IV, third generationCDC Star-100, third generationCray-1, third generationetc.
The second generation computers were developed to meet the needs of the atomic energy laboratories.
Colossus Mark II, an improvement on Colossus Mark I which was designed to crack the Germans' code during WWII in 1943/1944.
the transistor is on the second generations
The first second generation computers came on the market in 1958.

Apple Inc. (starting 2001), but this operating based on UNIX system and technologies developed by NeXT (second half of 1980s).

The features include: used integrated circuits, smaller in size compared to second generation computers, faster and more reliable, used high level language, magnetic core and solid states as main storage, reduced computational time and had low maintenance cost, input and output became more sophisticated. They were developed during the period of 1964 to 1971.
first,second,thirdfourth and fifth generation
The Manhattan Project where the atomic weapons were developed during the Second World War .
The second generation computers were developed to meet the needs of the atomic energy laboratories.
Colossus Mark II, an improvement on Colossus Mark I which was designed to crack the Germans' code during WWII in 1943/1944.
There are generally considered to be four generations. The first generations is from 1967-1969. The second generation is from 1970-1981. The third generation is from 1982-1992. The fourth generation is from 1993-2002.
