Integrated Circuits (ICs) are related to which generation of computers ?

  • A.First generation
  • B.Second generation
  • C.Third generation
  • D.Fourth generation

Answer: C

Integrated circuits belong to the Third generation.

Computer generations are named after the main electronic component they used:

  1. First generation: vacuum tubes.
  2. Second generation: transistors.
  3. Third generation: integrated circuits, many transistors on a single chip, from the mid-1960s.
  4. Fourth generation: microprocessors built with very large scale integration.

So the first and second generations predate the IC, and the fourth is defined by the microprocessor rather than the IC as such.
