What are the differences between fourth and fifth generation of computer?
4th generation of computers are acts as user define computers but 5th generation computers are act as automatic computers by means it doing its works automatically
Are fourth generation computers the first to use pictures?
yes
How was technology use to make the computer?
Different computers at different times used whatever technologies were available at that time.The Charles Babbage analytical engine (digital, mechanical) was based on gears and cams.The MIT differential analyzer (analog, mechanical) was based on glass disk and ball integrator technology.The Atanasoff-Berry Computer (digital, mostly electronic) was based on vacuum tubes, capacitors, and a drive motor for timing.The Harvard Mark 1 (digital, electromechanical) used mechanical counters, clutches, relays, etc.The Colossus (digital, electronic, code breaking) was based on vacuum tubes, and very high speed paper tape.The ENIAC (digital, electronic) was based on vacuum tubes.First generation digital computers were based on vacuum tubes and sometimes germanium point contact diodes.Second generation digital computers were based on bipolar junction transistors (initially germanium then silicon).Third generation digital computers were based on silicon integrated circuits (some high speed computers of this generation used gallium arsenide integrated circuits).Fourth generation digital computers were based on silicon microprocessor integrated circuits.Some experimental computers have been built using optical technology.etc.
What is the evolution of fourth generation of computers till present?
The evolution of fourth generation of computer till date was the use of microchips as the memory capacity and this has helped in manufacturing of computer till date.
What are the limitations of first fourth generation computers and how are the limitations removed or reduced by the fifth generation computers?
no one really cares nerd oh ya so why did you ask the question in the frist place
Differentiate between third generation of computers and fourth generation?
Differentiate between third generation of computers and fourth generation?"
What do mean by generation of computers?
It means that with each so-called "generation", there was a major breakthrough in computers. Terms such as "fourth generation" or "fifth generation" are not clearly defined, especially for the later generations.
What is the operating system used in fourth generation computers?
You can use any operation system in fourth generation computers.
What was the computer made of?
Several early digital computers were made of electromechanical devices similar to those used to build automatic dial telephone exchanges used at the time. First generation digital computers were made of vacuum tubes. Second generation digital computers were made of discrete transistors (most used germanium transistors but later some silicon transistors). Third generation digital computers were made of (hybrid, SSI, MSI, LSI) silicon integrated circuits. Fourth generation digital computers are made of microprocessors and other (VLSI, ULSI, etc.) silicon integrated circuits.
What type of computer is fourth generation computer?
Third Generation Computers were made out of Integrated Circuits and Fourth Generation Computers are made of Microprocessors.
Examples of fourth generation of computers?
ENIAC
Is used in fourth generation computers?
Microprocessors.

Which generation micro computers were developed?
Probably the fourth.
What generation are computers in right now?
fourth
