Generations of Computers Second Generation Computers Employed during the period 1956-1963 ● Use transistors in place of vacuum tubes in building the basic logic circuits. Advantages:(1)Fastest computing devices of their time;(2)Easy to program because of the use assembly language;(3)Could be transferred from one place to other very easily because they were small and light;(4)Require very less power in carrying out their operations;(5)More reliable,did not require maintenance at regular intervals of time.Generations of Computers ◼ Second Generation Computers • Employed during the period 1956-1963 • Use transistors in place of vacuum tubes in building the basic logic circuits. • Advantages: (1) Fastest computing devices of their time; (2) Easy to program because of the use assembly language; (3) Could be transferred from one place to other very easily because they were small and light; (4) Require very less power in carrying out their operations; (5) More reliable, did not require maintenance at regular intervals of time
