  • 3rd generation

    3rd generation

    The period of third generation was from 1965-1971. The computers of third generation used Integrated Circuits These computers have magnetic storage.
  • 4th generation

    4th generation

    Fourth Generation of computers was between 1971 – 1980. These computers used the VLSI technology or the Very Large Scale Integrated technology
  • 5th generation

    5th generation

    In the fifth generation, VLSI technology became ULSI (Ultra Large Scale Integration) technology, resulting in the production of microprocessor chips having ten million electronic components.
  • 6th generation
