Third generation computers, which utilized integrated circuits, had several disadvantages. They were still relatively expensive compared to modern systems, and their reliance on specialized hardware limited flexibility. Additionally, while they offered improved speed and efficiency compared to earlier generations, they still faced challenges regarding reliability and maintenance, as complex circuitry could lead to higher failure rates. Lastly, programming these systems often required specialized knowledge, making it less accessible for a broader audience.
What else can I help you with?
Are Computers that used transistors are referred to as third-generation computers?
no, second generation. third generation computers used ICs.

Differentiate between third generation of computers and fourth generation?"
Where did the third generation of computers start?
The third generation of computers started in 1964 through 1971.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the third generation?
The advantages of the third generation computers are:1. faster2. smaller3. uses less energy4. uses high level programming5. cheaper7. lower maintenance costthe disadvantages are:1. still require air conditioning
Why are the fourth generation computers called digital computers?
Because the first, second, and third generation computers were also digital computers.
Which generation of computers is covered by the period 1964-77?
Third Generation
What generation was the minicomputer first used?
The first minicomputers were second generation computers, but the most well known minicomputers were third generation computers.
Who invented the third generation computers?
No one person.
The third generation of computers was marked by the introduction of what?
Intergrated 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.
What is the main use of third generation languages?
Programming computers. That is what they were designed for.
Which decade does third generation computers end?
this is generally considered to have happened in the 1970s or 1980s. however for certain special types of computers they are still third generation computers, because they contain no microprocessor(s), instead they are composed of many high density advanced random logic integrated circuits. so the third generation has still not completely ended.
