Modern Computers
From UNIVAC to the latest desktop computer or PC evolution has moved quickly. The 1st generation computers were known for using vacuum tubes in their structure. The new generation to ensure would use the much smaller and more efficient transistor.
From Tubes to Transistors
Any modern digital computer is hugely a collection of electronic switches. These switches are used to illustrate and control the routing of data elements that are called binary digits (orbits). Because of the on-or-off behavior of the binary data and signal routing the computer uses, a proficient electronic switch was necessary. The first electronic computers are used vacuum tubes as switches, and although the tubes are not worked perfectly, they had many problems. The type of tube used in the 1st generation computers was called a triode and was invented by Lee De Forest in the1906. It is built of a cathode and a plate, separated by a control grid system, arranged in a glass vacuum tube. The cathode is heated by the red-hot electric filament, which causes it to throw electrons that are attracted to the plate. The control grid system in the center can control this flow of electrons. By making it negative, you cause the electrons to be role back to the cathode, by making it positive, you cause them to be attracted toward to the plate. Thus, by controlling the grid system current, you can control the on/off to the output of the plate. See the below image to imagine clearly.

The illustration shows a vacuum tube with 3 components checked by arrows. A square bar to the left has an arrow indication towards it that reads “heated cathode.” A bar at the center filled with horizontal and vertical lines has an arrow is pointing to it labeled “Grid.” A plain bar to the right is labeled “Plate” by an arrow.
