Question

Third generation computers.

• A. Were the first to use integrated circuitry
• B. Were the first to use built-in error detecting devices
• C. Used transistors instead of vacuum tubes
• D. All of the above
• E. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Were the first to use integrated circuitry

Third generation computers Were the first to use integrated circuitry.

The period of third generation was from 1965-1971. The computers of 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.

Third Generation: Integrated Circuits (1964-1971) The development of the integrated circuit was the hallmark of the third generation of computers. Transistors were miniaturized and placed on silicon chips, called semiconductors, which drastically increased the speed and efficiency of computers
