Finally the computers we have now 5th Generation Computer! Who made the 5th Generation Computers? Japan's Ministry of International Trade and Industry made them in 1982. 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. This generation is based on parallel processing hardware and AI (Artificial Intelligence) software.
