STEP 1

INTRODUCTION

The teacher revisits the previous lesson on first, second and third generations of computers

 

Pupils pay attention

STEP 2

EXPLANATION

The teacher then explains fourth and fifth generations of computers

 

FOURTH GENERATION(1971-1980)

Fourth-generation computers used microprocessors which were designed using the LSI (Large Scale Integration) and VLSI (Very Large-Scale Integration) technology. The computers became small, portable, reliable and cheap. The computation time is in picoseconds. They became available both to the home user and for commercial use.

 

FIFTH GENERATION(1982-date)

Fifth-generation computers are expected to be capable of learning and self-organization. The computers use SLSI (Super Large-Scale Integration) chips and have large memory requirements. They use parallel processing and are based on (AI) Artificial Intelligence. The fifth-generation computers are still being developed.
