You seemed to have skipped over a couple of generations of computers.

Those are new information to me. I wasn't able to read about those from my reference.
They just listed the major contributions in the history of computer before the 3 generations that I mentioned.
But in this video: https://youtu.be/xMWBUHqaU7g I was able to name some computers from
the mechanical, analog, and relay generations of computers. Thank you for the information.
