Question 2

Features of Second generation computers :

Use transistor based technology
Were smaller and less expensive as compared to first generation
Consumed less electricity and emitted less heat
Magnetic core memories and magnetic disks were used as primary and secondary storage respectively
First operating system developed
Programming in assembly language and in the later part high level languages were used
Wider commercial use but commercial production was still difficult
They also required constant air-conditioning.
