Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: False, the first generation computers were based on vacuum tubes. Explanation: Fifth generation computers were based on integrated circuits.
Detailed explanation-2: -Integrated Circuit was introduced with the Third Generation of computers.
Detailed explanation-3: -A vacuum-tube computer, now termed a first-generation computer, is a computer that uses vacuum tubes for logic circuitry. Although superseded by second-generation transistorized computers, vacuum-tube computers continued to be built into the 1960s. These computers were mostly one-of-a-kind designs.
Detailed explanation-4: -Computer generations are based on when major technological changes in computers occurred, like the use of vacuum tubes, transistors, and the microprocessor. As of 2020, there are five generations of the computer.
Detailed explanation-5: -Third Generation Computers: Integrated Circuits. (1964-1971) IC was made from silicon and also called silicon chips.
