The correct answer is Second.

Key Points

  • Second-generation computers (1955-1964) were made of transistors.
  • The second generation of computers, which used transistors instead of vacuum tubes, were released in the late 1950s and early 1960s as interest in computer technology grew quickly.
  • The second generation of computers, however, was entirely built using transistors rather than vacuum tubes.
