Fifth Generation (Present)

                 After  1986, ULSI technology  was used to
                 develop  more powerful  microprocessors to

                 improve the speed, size, cost and performance
                 of  computers.  In  1997, Intel  introduced  the
                 MMX microprocessors, which were  designed

                 to improve game and multimedia performance.
                 Scientists are still trying to develop computers
                 with Artificial Intelligence (AI).

                                Will use artificial intelligence
                                Improved size, cost, speed and performance

                                New versions of GUI operating systems are developed

                          Early people tied knots in rope and carved marks on clay to keep the
                         records.

                          ABACUS was the first calculating aid invented 3000 years ago in China.

                          Blaise pascal invented the calculating machine called the Pascaline.

                          Step Reckoner, the first calculator that could perform all four arithmetic
                         operations, was invented by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in 1672.

                          Analytical Engine, the first ever working model of a mechanical computer,
                         was  invented  by  Charles  babbage,  who  is known  as  ‘the  Father  of
                         Computer’.

                          Lady Ada Lovelace is the first computer programmer.

                          Mark-I was the first electro-mechanical computer.

                          The present computer took its shape in five generations.

                          In the 1980’s Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) came into existence in
                         which thousands of transistors were placed on a single chip.
