1896: The Tabulating Machine Company
1911: Company merged with 2 others to form the
Computing-Tabulated-Recording Company
1924: Changed its name to International Business
Machines (IBM)
1944: First electronic computer developed in
association with Dr Aiken of Harvard, Mark 1

8 feet high, 55 feet wide, 3 – 5 seconds to do a single
multiplication operation
First Generation Computers
1951-1959

Sold 19
Used vacuum tubes that continuously burned out
Were slow and unreliable
Coded using ‘machine language’, composed of 1
and 0
Punched cards used to enter data and instructions
Second Generation Computers
1959-1963

Vacuum tubes replaced by transistors
–
–
Computers faster, smaller and more reliable
‘High-level’ languages developed


–
Easier to understand
Not machine specific
Computers can communicate over telephone lines
Third Generation Computers
1963-1975

Invention of the integrated circuit in 1958 by
Jack St Clair Kirby and Robert Noyce
–
–
–
Integrated circuits incorporate many transistors and
electronic circuits on a single chip
Computers as cheap as 1st generation but faster
and more memory
DEC produced the first minicomputer in 1965, IBM
dominated the mainframe market
Fourth Generation Computers
1975-Now?
