Detailed explanation-1: -The Fifth Generation Computer Systems (FGCS) was a 10-year initiative begun in 1982 by Japan’s Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) to create computers using massively parallel computing and logic programming .
Detailed explanation-2: -The fifth generation spans the years 1980 to the present. VLSI technology evolved into ULSI (Ultra Large Scales Integrated) technology in the fifth generation, resulting in the fabrication of microprocessor chips with 10 million electronic components.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Fifth Generation computers are defined as the computers which will be used predominantly in 1990s. Supercomputers will be used in scientific and engineering calculations and simulations. Database machines and present mainframe computers will be networked in order to organise worldwide information systems.
Detailed explanation-4: -First Generation Internet was conceived in the era of time sharing; in 1965. Processing mode used in First Generation Internet is time sharing and time slicing. Time sharing allows a central computer to be shared by a large number of users sitting at terminals.
