Tanenbaum, Ch $1,$ outlines $5$ generations of computing, here is a recap:

First Gen $(1945-1955)-$ Vacuum Tubes, example computer $-$ ENIAC

Second Gen $(1955-1965)-$ Transistors, example computers $-$ TX$-0$ & Cray$-1$

Third Gen $(1965-1980)-$ Integrated Circuits, example computer $-$ IBM System$/360$

Fourth Gen $(1980-)-$ Very Large Scale Integration, example computers $-$ modern x$86$ and ARM based computers

Fifth Gen $-$ Low$-$Power and Invisible Computers, example computers $-$ embedded systems, smartphones, etc.

What do you think will be the next generation of computers?

Please answer the following in the comments or in a text document:

What would be the highlight$/$innovative technology of the next generation of computers?

If that technology exists today, give some examples, if not, what would those 'computers' look like$/$do$?$

What do you expect the impact of that technology on society?

What other technology do you see having a large impact in the next ~$50$ years?
