Fourth generation computers (1975 onwards)
- The microchip technology was introduced in this generation of computers.
- With the advancement in IC technology, LSI (Large Scale Integration) chips were developed.
- It was possible to integrate over 30,000 or more components on to single LSI chip. After LSI, the VSLI (Very Large Scale Integration) was developed and the development of microprocessor possible.
- It is expected that more than one million components will be integrated on a single chip of VLSI.
- Using VLSI technology, the entire CPU is designed on a single silicon chip.
- The use of microprocessor as CPU introduced another class of components called the Microcomputers.
- Thus fourth-generation may be called Microcomputer generation.
- IBM introduced its personal computer for use in 1981.
Advantages:-
The advantages of fourth-generation as compared to previous generation computers are:-
- Smaller in size.
- Production cost is very low.
- Very reliable.
- Hardwire failure is negligible.
- Easily problem because of their small size.
- Totally general purpose.
- Air conditioning is not compulsory.
- Very high internal & external storage capacity.
- Used advanced input & output devices such as optical readers, laser printers, CD-ROM/DVD-ROM devices etc.
Disadvantages:-
The main disadvantages of fourth-generation computers are:-
- Highly sophisticated technology required for the manufacture of microprocessor chips.
