Question2: Create a time line of the history of computers using the handout information and Robert Noyce documentary (no dates necesary)

The first thing that occured for the computer were the abacos they were used to know precisely the numbers.

The binary system was invented to create a new language for the computer so it was easier for them to understand what are you trying to say. This language is very difficult and it only uses the numbers 0 and 1, with every single combination you can imagine and only computers know to work it very quickly.

The first generation of computer were very big because they needed many things to complement them, they had very big processors and many data was used. They where so big that the size of a computer was the same size of a tennis court. They also used the vacuum for preventing viruses to destroy all the information. It had to use a lot of energy. They were afraid of all the insects that could get inside.

The second generation of computers were not as big as the first ones and they used the transistors, which made the computers smaller and quicker.

The third generation of computers was able to use recently developed integrated circuits, this was a way of reducing space drastically and this made possible the dream of making computers smaller, maybe a bit bigger of what computers are now. Computer speed increased.

The microprocessor was invented by Robert Noyce and it was used for a new generation of computers, this microprocessor is an integrated circuit compact in a very small size just like a Mother Board of a normal computer, which is what made computers quicker and smaller.

The fourth generation of computers were invented by Bill ates, they use a very small microprocessor and they had many other advantages, they were form INTEL. Each time the computer started being wuicker and safest, so this computer was very quick.

The fifth generation of computers, (what we use now), uses the microprocessor that Robert created, this generation uses the microprocessor as the main source of technology, in this generation computers are very small and every single thing that has memory has a microprocessor like i-Pods cellphones computers, everything you can think off. These computers are the quickest nowadays.
