Fifth Generation of Computer
The period of the fifth generation: 1980-onwards. ULSI microprocessor based.
the computer runs Perfectly and fast.
The first generation of computers used vacuum tubes and various devices for memory, such as mercury delay lines. There were thousands of tubes. They did not all plug into one or more motherboards that would each have been the size of the wall of a large room.
