The second generation computers were developed during 1959-1965.
The examples are- UNIVAC, ENIAC, EDSAC, EDVAC, and UNIVAC. G) They used machine level programming language. However some of the features are as follows-Ī) They were extremely large and occupied a very large space.ī) They used vacuum tubes as memory device.Ĭ) They were very expensive and consumed a lot of electrical power.ĭ) The operating speed was measured in milliseconds.Į) These computers had low level of accuracy and reliability.į) Storage capacity was too small only 1 to 4Kb. It used vacuum tubes as the active electronic components and was therefore very large. The first generation computers were developed during 1943-1958.
