Question

PLZZ HELP!! ITS FOR A TEST!! Third generation computers were set apart because of this invention. A) microprocessors B) transistors C) integrated circuits D) vacuum tubes

Answer 1

Answer: I'm pretty sure the answer is C. Integrated Circuits.

Explanation: "The computers of the third generation used Integrated Circuits (ICs) in place of transistors. A single IC has many transistors, resistors, and capacitors along with the associated circuitry. The IC was invented by Jack Kilby. This development made computers smaller in size, reliable, and efficient." ( Tutorialspointwww.tutorialspoint.com)

Answer:

A. Invention of microprocessor

Explanation:

The third generation of computer itself was based on the technology of integrated circuits (shorten as IC).

It lasted for about 6 years and was brought to an end with the advent of the fourth generation of computers which was based on microprocessors.

Hence, option A answers the question.
