3rd generation
The discovery in 1958 of the first Integrated Circuit (Chip) by the engineer Jack S. Kilby (born in 1928) of Texas Instruments, as well as the work carried out by Dr. Robert Noyce of Fairchild Semicon ductors, about Integrated circuits gave rise to the third generation of computers. -
3rd generation
For example, the computer could be calculating the payroll and accepting orders at the same time. Minicomputers, With the introduction of the model 360 IBM monopolized 70% of the market, to avoid competing directly with IBM the company Digital Equipment Corporation DEC redirected its efforts towards small computers. Much less expensive to buy and operate than large computers, minicomputers were developed during the second generation but reached a boom summers between 1960 and 70. -
3rd generation
The third generation computers emerged with the development of integrated circuits (silicon wafers) in which thousands of electronic components are placed, in a miniature integration. -
3rd generation
IBM marks the beginning of this generation, when on April 7, 1964 presents the impressive IBM 360, with its technology SLT (Solid Logic Technology). This machine caused such an impact in the world of computing that they were manufactured more than
