Question 3: Create a time line of the history of computers (use everything seen in class)

Electron (//a kind f small football stadium size,// Circuit by Jack Circuit in silicon so it can be personal, they are the size of Tubes full of vacuum tubes). Normally the 1st generation of computers were only used in Universities and by the Government.
 * Vacuum First Generation Computers Creation of the Intregrated Robert Noyce creates the Integrated Computers become more


 * The 2nd generation of computers: they were computers of the size of the IT lab for example, they were used by universities for some research and by the government. the were a bit cheaper than the ones from the first generation, and also a bit smaller, but still in a way ineffective because of the size, it had only change from a small football stadium size to a big room size.


 * The 3rd Generation had the integrated circuit which modified the size of the computers, By this time computers were smaller from being room size they turn to be as a fridge. By this they become more accessible, now not only university and the government were able to have also important business. When the computers became more accessible the industry of computers became bigger. It was cheaper that the past generations.
 * The 4th Generation computers where now smaller, they where faster and had a greater capacity. they where chaper, because materials and the costs of production where less, now everyone could have these type of tecnology, it stoped being something only for the government or buisness, it was for the use and advantage of everone, to use them at home, or at school, etc
