Second Generation Computer

Second Generation Computer

(1956-1963) / (1959-1965)

Second Generation Computer Is Started By John Bardeen,

William B. Shockley, Walter H. Brattain

The Features Of Second Generation Computer Are:

• Use of Transistor
• Reliable Comparison to First Generation of Computers
• Supported Smaller Sized As Compared To First Generation of Computers
• Generated Less Heat As Compared To First Generation of Computers
• Consumed Less Electricity As Compared To First Generation of Computers
• Firster than First Generation Computers
• Still Very Costly
• AC Indicated Machine and Assembly Language

John Bardeen (1908–1991), William B. Shockley (1910–1989), & Walter H. Brattain (1902–1987) invented the transistor at Bell Telephone Laboratories in the mid-1940's. By 1948 it was obvious to many that the transistor would probably replace the vacuum tube in devices such as radios, television sets, and computers.
