00:01 Hello students, second generation and third generation computers represent the two distinct stages in the development of the computer technology.

00:09 So let us discuss about the second generation, second generation as well as with the third generation, third generation.

00:24 So wait, let's first discuss about its time period.

00:31 So these computers were developed in the 1950s to the mid of 1960s.

00:45 Whereas this third generation, these computers emerged in the early years of the 1960s and continues till the 1970s, it continues till the 1970s.

01:05 So coming to its hardware technology, hardware technology, hardware technology, as the second generation the computers primarily use, they primarily use the transistors, they primarily use the transistors as a replacing vacuum tube, replacing vacuum tubes used in the fourth generation computer.

01:39 The magnetic core memory was commonly used.

01:42 Whereas coming to the third generation, the third generation computers integrate the integer circuits or the microchips, which combine the many, they combine the many transistors.

01:53 So they combine the many transistors into a semiconductor, into a single semiconductor, single semiconductor, semiconductors chip.

02:13 So this leads to the smarter, faster and the more reliable computer.

02:18 So now coming to its size and portability, its size and the portability.

02:25 So whereas in the second generation, these computers were generally large, they were large, larger and occupying the entire room.

02:38 So not easily portable.

02:40 Whereas those were not easily, not easily portable in a simple words we can say.

02:48 Whereas coming to the third generation computers, these were smaller and these were smaller and more compact and they were more compact, compact and capable of being placed on the desk.

03:02 So make them, making them more user friendly and portable.

03:06 Now let us discuss about its processing speed, processing speed.

03:13 As into the second generation, while the faster the first generation computer, they were significantly slower...
