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.

The original name of Windows was Interface Manager.
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.
