no, second generation. third generation computers used ICs.
Because the first, second, and third generation computers were also digital computers.
Third Generation
Sure thing, honey! First up, we've got the first generation with those big ol' vacuum tube computers. Then we move on to the second generation with transistor computers, followed by the third generation with integrated circuit computers. Next up is the fourth generation with microprocessor computers, and finally, we've got the fifth generation with artificial intelligence computers. Happy picture hunting!
Among many other things, third generation computers.
no, second generation. third generation computers used ICs.
Differentiate between third generation of computers and fourth generation?"
Because the first, second, and third generation computers were also digital computers.
Third Generation
The first minicomputers were second generation computers, but the most well known minicomputers were third generation computers.
No one person.
Intergrated circuits
Third Generation Computers were made out of Integrated Circuits and Fourth Generation Computers are made of Microprocessors.
Programming computers. That is what they were designed for.
this is generally considered to have happened in the 1970s or 1980s. however for certain special types of computers they are still third generation computers, because they contain no microprocessor(s), instead they are composed of many high density advanced random logic integrated circuits. so the third generation has still not completely ended.
VLSI chips straddle the third generation and fourth generation computers. They were used to make some third generation computers, but the development VLSI levels of integration permitted enough transistors to make a complete simple CPU in one integrated circuit chip, creating the first microprocessors (e.g. Intel 4004, Intel 8008) used to build fourth generation computers.
yes. that is their defining technology.
