Answers
Answer:
1}Computers makes it possible to receive, supply and process large volumes of data at very high speed. Computer reduces the cost of all data related operations including, input, output, storage, processing, and transmission. Computer greatly improves the speed of data input, output, processing, and transmission.
2}Multi-processor based system.
Use of AI.
Use of optical fiber in circuits.
Development of the elements of programs.
Automated audio in any language to control the workflow of the computer.
Magnetic enabled chips.
Huge development of storage.
3}Second generation computers were based on transistors, essentially the same as first generation computers, but with the transistors replacing the vacuum tubes / thermionic valves. Third generation computers used printed circuit boards to replace much of the wiring between the transistors.
4} a small unit of a computer that contains all the functions of the central processing unit
5}Supercomputers play an important role in the field of computational science, and are used for a wide range of computationally intensive tasks in various fields, including quantum mechanics, weather forecasting, climate research, oil and gas exploration, molecular modeling
