Give ten examples of fifth generation computers.
Answers
◆First generation – vacuum tubes.
◆Second generation – transistors.
◆Third generation – integrated circuits (IC)
◆Fourth generation – VLSI microprocessors.
◆Fifth generation – ULSI microprocessors in conjunction with AI and parallel processing.
The name "fifth generation" was expected to carry the system as holding a leap beyond subsisting machines. In the history of computing device, computers using vacuum machines were proclaimed as the first generation; semiconductors and diodes, as the second generation; integrated circuits as the third generation; and those using microprocessors, as the fourth generation. Fifth generation computers operate Artificial Intelligence technology and ULSI Technology.
Some computers of the fifth generation include:
Laptops
PDAs
Smartphones
Super Computers
