To understand the history of the computer classification was introduced, at least two aspects: first – all activities related to computers, to create computer ENIAC was seen as a prequel, the second – the development of computer technology was determined directly in terms of technology equipment and circuits.
The second aspect is confirmed by the chief designer of the firm DEC and one of the inventors of mini-computers G. Bell, saying that”the history of the computer industry is almost always moving technology”.
Turning to the assessment and consideration of different generations, we must first note that since the process of creating a computer place and is continuous (it involves many developers from many countries that deal with the solution of various problems) is difficult and in some cases, futile attempts to determine exactly when a generation begins or ends.
In 1883, Thomas Alva Edison, seeking to prolong the life of the bulb with carbon filament introduced into its vacuum tank platinum electrode and a positive voltage, the vacuum between the electrode and the filament current flows.
Unable to find any explanation of such an unusual phenomenon, Edison is limited to that described in detail it, just in case, took out a patent and sent the lamp on the Philadelphia exhibition. About her in December 1884 in the journal”Engineering”Phenomenon”was a note in Edison’s light bulb”.
