FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -Fourth Generation of computers was between 1971 – 1980. These computers used the VLSI technology or the Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits technology. Therefore they were also known as the microprocessors. Intel was the first company to develop a microprocessor.

Detailed explanation-2: -A microprocessor helped in performing arithmetic and logical functions for programs. Micral, IBM 5100, and Altair 8800 are great examples of fourth-generation computers. Besides, Micral is said to be the first personal computer based on a microprocessor.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fourth generation (1971-2010) The fourth generation of computers took advantage of the invention of the microprocessor, more commonly known as a CPU. Microprocessors, with integrated circuits, helped make it possible for computers to fit easily on a desk and for the introduction of the laptop.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fourth generation may refer to: 4G, the fourth generation of cellular wireless standards. Fourth-generation programming language. Fourth-generation jet fighter. Fourth generation warfare, conflict characterized by a blurring of the lines between war and politics, soldier and civilian.
