Generation of computers


A computer is an electrical device that facilitates a variety of tasks for us. It is a multitasking powerhouse that produces precise outcomes.

Computers from the first generation used machine language. The simplest programming language for computers to use is called machine language. Large vacuum tubes in the first-generation computers increased their size and cost.

Transistors took the place of vacuum tubes in the second generation of computers. Although Bell Labs invented the transistor in 1947, it wasn't until the late 1950s that they were widely deployed.

As a result of the transistor's superior performance over the vacuum tube, computers in the second generation are now smaller, faster, cheaper, more energy-efficient, and more dependable.

The third generation of computers was made possible by advancements in integrated circuit technology. Computers can now operate more quickly and effectively because to the downsizing of transistors and their placement on silicon chips, also referred to as semiconductors.



Keyboards and monitors connected to an operating system that allowed the device to run various programmes while being managed by centralised software were used to initiate user interaction. Of course, punch cards and printouts were replaced by keyboards and monitors.

The fourth generation of computers was launched with the integration of thousands of integrated circuits onto a single silicon chip. In the palm of one's hand, what once filled a whole room, was now confined. The central processing unit, memory, and input/output controllers were all merged onto a single chip for the Intel 4004 microprocessor, which was unveiled in 1971..

Although the fifth generation of computers is still being developed, some functions, like speech recognition, are now in use. Parallel processing and superconductors are enabling the development of artificial intelligence.

PURCHASED GOODWILL METHOD UNDER IND AS 103

The acquisition of subsidiaries results in  Goodwill calculation  and also records net assets of the subsidiary at fair value on the date of acquisition. Let’s get answers to all the questions related to Goodwill, valuation of NCI, and impairment relating to them. Q1 – What are the ways in which an entity can make payment for purchase consideration? ANS: – Cash – Share exchange – Deferred payment – Contingent consideration Q2 – How is deferred payment dealt, when it forms part of purchase consideration? ANS:  The deferred payment is discounted to present value and included in the cost of consideration. At the end of each year, the liability is increased by unwinding the discount, until the payment is settled. For example, An amount of Rs. 108,000 was deferred to be paid after 2 years. The discount rate applicable is 8%. The net present value today of Rs. 108,000 is equal to (108,000 * 1) / (1.08) ^2)= Rs. 92,593 included in purchase consideration. A liability of Rs. 92,59...
