They used magnetic drum for primary memory. They used machine level language for programming. What difference does the 5th generation computer have from other generation computers a) Technological advancement b) Scientific code c) Object Oriented. Storage capacity was limited to 1 KB to 4 KB. They used vacuum tubes/valves as their main electronic components. Due to the consumption of great deal of electricity, it generated a lot of heat that often caused malfunctioning in the system. They were very huge and expensive to operate. Vacuum tubes were used for first generation computers for circuitry and magnetic drums for memory. There are five computer generations: First Generation (1946-1958) This division of computer according to the development period, memory, processing speed, efficiency, storage etc. 
Key technology development that vitally changed the way computers operate, resulting in increasingly smaller, cheaper, more powerful, efficient and reliable devices distinguished the generation of the computer.
The history of computer is also referred with its generation.
