Third generation computers(1964-1971)

By

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.
