Third generation computers(1964-1971)
characteristics Use of the integrated circuit(IC) was the hallmark of the third-generation computers. Transistors were made small in size and put and put on silicon chips called semiconductors.This increased the speed and efficiency of the computers. Users interacted with third generation computers through keyboards and monitors. Operating systems were developed. ----------------------------------------------------- The development of ICs gave birth to a new field of microelectronics. It was first developed by T S Kilby . -------------------------------------------------------- Altair Computers began to be used widely as they became cheaper and smaller. examples of third generation computers Altair, the first personal computer, was developed in 1974.
