    Fourth Generation of Computers

    In the fourth generation of computers, their prices increase and each computer is equipped with a CPU and an information storage unit. Also the first CDs and the first Apple and Commodore computers are shown.
  • Period: to

    Fifth Generation of Computer

    In the fifth generation appear computers with human behavior at the hardware level. The new computers act as robots and can do tasks and have the ability to learn things.
