Generations :-
         First Generation :-
                    The period of first generation: 1946-1959 vacuum tube based.
        Second Generation :-
                    The period of second generation : 1959-1965. Transistor based.
        Third Generation :-
                    The period of third generation :1965-1971. Integrated Circuit based.
        Forth Generation :-
                The period of fourth generation: 1971-1980.VLSI microprocessor based.
        Fifth Generation :-
The period of fifth generation: 1980 on words ULSI microprocessor based.
