Detailed explanation-1: -Generation 0: Mechanical Computers (1642-1945) The first working calculating machine was invented in 1623 by German inventor Wilhelm Schickard (1592-1635), although details of its design were lost in a fire soon after its construction.
Detailed explanation-2: -A second-generation computer, through the late 1950s and 1960s featured circuit boards filled with individual transistors and magnetic core memory. These machines remained the mainstream design into the late 1960s, when integrated circuits started appearing and led to the third-generation computer.
Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of the second generation computers include IBM 1620, IBM 7094, CDC 1604, CDC 3600, UNIVAC 1108. As a result, they worked on AC and therefore were faster than their predecessors. Having trouble with concepts like DBMS?
