Question

Third generation brought a revolution in
the field of computers. Justify the
statement​

Answer 1

Answer:

The period of third generation was from 1965-1971. The computers of third generation used Integrated Circuits (ICs) in place of transistors. A single IC has many transistors, resistors, and capacitors along with the associated circuitry.

The IC was invented by Jack Kilby. This development made computers smaller in size, reliable, and efficient. In this generation remote processing, time-sharing, multiprogramming operating system were used. High-level languages (FORTRAN-II TO IV, COBOL, PASCAL PL/1, BASIC, ALGOL-68 etc.) were used during this generation.

Third Generation

The main features of third generation are −

IC used

More reliable in comparison to previous two generations

Smaller size

Generated less heat

Faster

Lesser maintenance

Costly

AC required

Consumed lesser electricity

Supported high-level language

Answer 2

Answer:

Though computers do not have a very long history behind them, but they have very rapid evolutionary changing phases within a very short span. Such evolution puts tremendous impact on our socio-economic life that brings a total revolution in itself. Each time evolved computers are coming out with better advantages and we call these “Generation of Computers.”
