More about computer

Throughout the early 1960 there were a number of commercially successful second generation computers used in business  universities and government from companies such as burroughs control data honey well ibm sperryrand and others.These second generation computers were also of solid state design and contained transistors in place of  vacuum tubes.They also painters tape storage disk storage memory operating  systems and stored programs.One important example was the ibm 1401 which was universally accepted throughout industry.By 1965 most large businesses routinely processed financial information squeezed hundreds of thousands of components into a single chip.Ultra large scale integration increased that number to the millions.The ability to innovate through minimization helped diminish the size and price of computers as well as increase their power efficiency and reliability.The intel 4004 chip developed in 1971 took the integrated 2 circuit one step further by locating all the components of a computer on  a minuscule chip.whereas previously the integrated circuit had to be manufactured and then programmed to meet any number of demands.
