Advantage of 3rd generation of computer?

Answer 1

third generation of computer are larger than fourth generation.

they are slower than fourth generation.

IC chips were used whereas in fourth generation microprocessor were used.

fourth generation consumed less electricity than third generation.

cost was drastically decreased.

speed was increased.

Answer 2

1. Smallest in size because of high component density.
2. Very reliable.
3. Heat generated is negligible.
4. No air conditioning required in most cases.
5. Much faster in computation than previous generations.
6. Hardware failure is negligible and hence minimal maintenance is required.
7. Easily portable because of their small size.
8. Totally general purpose.
9. Minimal labour and cost involved at assembly stage.
10. Cheapest among all generations.

Disadvantage

1. Highly sophisticated technology required for the manufacture of LSI chips.

Answer 3

that different people classifying computers into generations have not come to any agreement on a definition of this generation yet. the first three generations are fairly solidly agreed to be: vacuum tube, transistor, IC.

Answer 4

Integrated circuits reduced the size and power requirements. Higher reliability. Most computers had Operating Systems supplied by the manufacturer.

Answer 5

easily attacked by virus ,

needs sophisticated environment for manufacturing

Answer 6

• small size
• low cost
