Detailed explanation-1: -The third generation of modern computers is known for using integrated circuits instead of individual transistors. Jack Kilby at Texas Instruments and Robert Noyce at Fairchild are both credited with having invented the integrated circuit (IC) in 1958 and 1959.
Detailed explanation-2: -The third generation of computers was considered from 1965 to 1971. Transistors were replaced by integrated circuits (ICs) in third-generation computers. A single integrated circuit has several transistors, resistors, capacitors, and circuitry. The IC was developed by Jack Kilby.
Detailed explanation-3: -History of Computers: 2nd Generation. By 1948, the invention of the transistor drastically changed the computer’s development. The transistor replaced the cumbersome vacuum tube in televisions, radios and computers. As a result, the size of electronic machinery has been shrinking ever since.
