Revolução do Computador (S.O).(Parte 2)

The second generation (1956 - 1963) was driven by the invention of the transistor (1948) and in 1956 computers were already produced with this technology. Also appeared in modern devices such as printers, magnetic tapes, disks for storage, etc.


First computers.

Computers now have a rapid development, driven primarily by two key factors: the operating systems and languages ​​programmatically integrated circuits provide a new advance and they came with the computers of third generation (1964-1970).  

 Personal computers.

LSI technologies, VLSI and ULSI contain millions of electronic components in a small space or chip, starting the fourth generation to the next day. The current advances in research and design of new technologies for computers are enabling the emergence of the fifth generation. Two advances that constitute a watershed are parallel processing, which broke the paradigm of von Neumann, and technology of superconductors.
