Question

Each generation is set apart from the previous generation because of an innovation.

Answer 1

Answer:

Second Generation: transistors

Third Generation: integrated circuits

First Generation: vacuum tubes

Explanation:

Generations of computers are categorized based on the technologies that were used in them.

Given innovations or technologies are:

transistors :

Transistors were introduced in the second generation in place of vacuum tubes.

integrated circuits :

Integrated circuits were introduced in the third generation. An IC consists of multiple transistors.

vacuum tubes:

The very first generation of computers used vacuum tubes to do the calculations. the only drawback was that the tubes used to heat up very soon.

Hence,

Second Generation: transistors

Third Generation: integrated circuits

First Generation: vacuum tubes
