Fifth Generation (Present)

                 Fifth-generation computers are the smartest computers we

                 have  today.  They  use  advanced  technologies  like  artificial
                 intelligence. These computers can think, learn, and understand
                 what we say. They can do many things at the same time and

                 are used in smart devices like voice assistants, smartwatches,
                 and  self-driving  cars.  Even  though  we  already  use  some
                 fifth-generation computers, scientists are still working to make them even better.

                    CHARACTERISTICS OF A COMPUTER


                 A computer has several characteristics. Some of them are explained here.
                     Speed: A computer can handle millions of instructions every second. Tasks that

                    used to take hours or days can now be finished in just a few seconds. The speed
                    of a computer is measured in Millions of Instructions Per Second (MIPS).

                     Accuracy: A computer delivers very precise results. Every calculation is done with
                    the same level of accuracy.

                     Diligence: A computer can work continuously for hours without needing breaks
                    or getting bored. It never gets tired.

                     Storage Capacity: A computer can hold a huge amount of data. You can use
                    various storage devices like Hard disks, CDs, DVDs, flash drives, etc., to keep
                    your data.

                     Versatility: A computer can handle many different tasks. You can type a document,
                    then switch to listening to music or watching a video, all on the same device.

                     Compactness: As technology improves, computers are getting smaller in size.

                    Reliability: A computer doesn’t make mistakes. If the input is correct, it always
                    provides the right output.
