FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -Second Generation: Transistors (1956-1963): The world would see transistors replace vacuum tubes in the second generation of computers. The transistor was invented at Bell Labs in 1947 but did not see widespread use in computers until the late 1950s.

Detailed explanation-2: -History of Computers: 2nd Generation. By 1948, the invention of the transistor drastically changed the computer’s development. The transistor replaced the cumbersome vacuum tube in televisions, radios and computers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Second generation (1956-1963) The second generation of computers saw the use of transistors instead of vacuum tubes. Transistors were widely used in computers from 1956 to 1963. Transistors were smaller than vacuum tubes and allowed computers to be smaller in size, faster in speed, and cheaper to build.

Detailed explanation-4: -The bipolar transistor was invented in 1947. From 1955 onwards transistors replaced vacuum tubes in computer designs, giving rise to the “second generation” of computers.

Detailed explanation-5: -Transistors made of semiconductors replaced tubes in the construction of computers. By replacing bulky and unreliable vacuum tubes with transistors, computers could now perform the same functions, using less power and space.
