Third Generation (1960s)

                  In the third generation, the invention of  Integrated

                  Circuits  (ICs)  made  computers  smaller,  more  efficient,
                  and capable of storing more data.

                                 These computers were built using ICs.
                                 The use of the ICs reduced the size and increased the processing

                                speed of computers.
                                 They were more affordable and dependable.



                  Fourth Generation (1970s)

                  Fourth-generation computers are

                  a type of computer that came out
                  in  the  1970s  and  1980s.  These
                  computers are based on Large Scale

                  Integration (LSI) and  Very Large
                  Scale Integration (VLSI) in which
                  thousands of transistors are placed
                  on single tiny chips called microprocessors.

                  IBM released their first line of desktop PCs in 1981, known as the IBM PC, which used

                  the Intel 8088 chip as its CPU. In 1983, IBM released the PC-XT, which had more
                  memory and a larger hard drive. Then, in 1985, Microsoft introduced the first version
                  of Microsoft Windows known as Windows 1.0.

                                 Small in size and could be placed on an office table

                                 Hard disk to store data.

                   Intel introduced the Intel 4004, the first microprocessor in 1971.
