rapidly. The LSI (Large Scale Integration) circuit and VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration)

circuit was designed. It greatly reduced the size of computer. The size of modern

Microprocessors is usually one square inch. It can contain millions of electronic circuits.

The examples of fourth generation computers are Apple Macintosh & IBM PC.

Advantages

 No air conditioning required.

 Totally general purpose

 Commercial production

 Less need of repair.

 Cheapest among all generations

 All types of High level languages can be used in this type of computers

Disadvantages

 The latest technology is required for manufacturing of Microprocessors.
