How did the integrated circuit improve the third generation of computers?
A
It made them slower
B
It enabled people to connect to the internet
C
It made them more expensive
D
It made them much faster
Explanation: 

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: -The third-generation (1964-71) computers used integrated circuits made up of silicon and their speeds were around 100 nanoseconds.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main electronic component of this generation of computers was Integrated Circuits. The memory used in these computers was the large magnetic core, magnetic disk or tape. The high-level programming language was used like PASCAL, FORTRAN, BASIC, C, COBOL, etc. More items
