UNIVAC I, Business application and administration

• 1st gen

• 2nd gen

• 3rd gen

• 4th gen

Answer explanation

The UNIVAC I (UNIVersal Automatic Computer I) was the first general purpose electronic digital computer design for business application produced in the United States.

Designed at the outset for business and administrative use with fast execution of relatively simple arithmetic and data transport operations.

Integrated circuits

• 1st gen

• 3rd gen

• 2nd gen

• 4th gen

Answer explanation

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 system.

5000 translators, 10000 transistors in a single chip, VLSI, what generation? Also what are two examples of VLSI devices?

• 4th gen, microprocessor and memory chip

• 4th gen, macroprocessor and memory chip

• 5th gen, microprocessor and memory chip

• 5th gen, macroprocessor and memory chip

Answer explanation

The period of fourth generation was from 1971-1980. Computers of fourth generation used Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits. VLSI circuits having about 5000 transistors and other circuit elements with their associated circuits on a single chip made it possible to have microcomputers of fourth generation.

A microprocessor and a memory chip are examples of VLSI devices.

In the early 1970s, MOS integrated circuit technology allowed the integration of more than 10,000 transistors in a single chip.

If in the 4th gen, there was the VLSI processor, what kind of processor was there in the 5th gen?

Answer explanation

The period of fifth generation is 1980-present. In the fifth generation, VLSI technology became ULSI (Ultra Large Scale Integration) technology. Introduction of A.I. includes – robotics, neutral networks, game playing, development of experts system and natural language understanding and  generation

other word for Integrated circuits?

Answer explanation

An integrated circuit or monolithic integrated circuit (also referred to as an IC, a chip, or a microchip) is a set of electronic circuits on one small flat piece (or "chip") of semiconductor material that is normally silicon. 

It was described by Jack Kilby as body of semiconductor where all electronic components are integrated.

Vacuum tubes are used in which generation?

Answer explanation

►The period of first generation was from 1946-1959. The computers of first generation used vacuum tubes as the basic components for memory and circuitry for CPU (Central Processing Unit). These tubes, like electric bulbs, produced a lot of heat and the installations used to fuse frequently.
