ENIAC, EDVAC and UNIVAC are computer during what generation?

• First-Generation Computers

  made from vacuum tubes that are huge computers that are costly to maintain

• Second-Generation Computers

  made from transistors which were smaller in size and easier to maintain and more affordable

• Third-Generation

  Computers made from Integrated Circuits which are called semiconductors (miniaturized transistors kept in silicon chips) that increases speed and efficiency of computers

• Fourth-Generation Computers use microprocessors or chips which are smaller that postage stamp and had tremendous computing capabilities.
