General Knowledge

History and Generations of Computers.

This topic from Basic Computer Knowledge introduces Class 12 General Knowledge students to the historical development of computers and the major stages known as computer generations. Students learn how early machines using vacuum tubes evolved through transistors, integrated circuits, microprocessors, and modern intelligent technologies. It explains the changing size, speed, storage, reliability, programming methods, and applications of computers, helping learners connect key technological advances with the way computers are used in education, business, science, communication, and everyday life.
