Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -This invention replaced the transistor and led to the development of third generation computers. Processing speed increased to millions of calculations per second. Q. What does the ‘PC’ stand for?
Detailed explanation-3: -The first generation of computers used vacuum tubes; the second generation of computers used transistors; the third generation of computers used integrated circuits; and the fourth generation of computers used microprocessors.
