The First Generation (1946-1959) The Computers of 1st generation used vacuum tubes as the basic components for memory and circuitry for the CPU (Central Processing Unit). The mainly batch processing operating system was used. Punch cards, paper tape, and the magnetic tape was used as input and output devices. It uses machine code as t...
