2nd Generation Of Computer, Transistors

Second Generation Of Computer, 1956- 1953, Transistor.


This technology comes after the vacuum tubes. Transistor is a device composed of semiconductor materials that amplifies signal or opens or closes a circuit. This invent on 1947 at Bell Labs. Transistor has become the key of all digital circuits including computers. Without the inventions of transistors, computing as we know today will not  be possible. 


This technology is invented on 1947 but widespread until the late 50s. The Transistor is alot more cheaper, faster, smaller, energy efficient more than the first generations of computer. 


COBOL and FORTAN, these was also the first computer that stored their instruction on their memory, which move from magnetic drum to magnetic core technology. The first computer of this second generation was developed in the Atomic Energy Industry.
