explain about 3rd generation of computer and describe its advantage and disadvantages in 100 words​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Advantages of Third Generation Computer:

• Used less energy.
• Better speed and could calculate data in nanoseconds
• Used fan for head discharge to prevent damage.
• Maintenance cost was low because hardware failure is rare.

Disadvantages of Third Generation Computer:

• Air conditioning was required.
• The highly sophisticated technology required for the manufacturing of IC chips.
• IC chips are difficult to maintain

Answer 2

Third Generation Computers (1964-1975).The IC (Integrated Circuits) technology was used in third-generation computers. In a small IC chip (5 mm square size) a circuit is designed having large number of electronic components like transistors, capacitors, diodes, resistors etc. Initially, an IC contained only about ten to twenty components. Thus the IC technology was named as Small Scale Integration (SSI). The third-generation was based on IC technology and the computers were designed using this technology.

Advantages:-

The main advantages of third-generation as compared to previous generations of computers were:-

• Smaller in size.
• Production cost was low.
• Very reliable.
• Hardware failure is negligible.
• Easily portable because of their small size.
• Totally general purpose.
• Air conditioning is not compulsory.
• Very high processing speed.
• Very large internal & external storage capacity.
• Used advanced input &output devices such as optical readers, laser printers, CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives etc.

Disadvantages:-

The main disadvantages of third-generation Computers are:-

• Air-conditioning required.
• Highly sophisticated technology required for the manufacturer of microprocessor chips.
