Explanation

An integrated circuit is a small chip of semiconductor material, typically silicon, that contains numerous tiny MOSFETs.

The five generations of computers:

1. First Generation (1946-1959 or 1940-1956): Vacuum tube-based technology (e.g., ENIAC).
2. Second Generation (1959-1965 or 1956-1963): Transistor-based technology.
3. Third Generation (1965-1971 or 1964-1971): Integrated circuit-based technology.
4. Fourth Generation (1972-1980): VLSI microprocessor-based technology.
5. Fifth Generation (1980-present): ULSI microprocessor-based technology, with a focus on artificial intelligence.

Explanation

Computer hardware is virtually useless without computer software. Software is the programs that are needed to accomplish the input, processing, output, storage, and control activities of information systems.

Explanation

EEPROM Stand for Electrically erasable programmable read-only memory.

EEPROM is a special type of PROM that can be erased by exposing it to an electrical charge.

EEPROM is similar to Flash Memory

Explanation

From Third generation operating systems were developed.

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.

Explanation

Bandwidth refers to the amount of data transmitted per second.

It is measured in bits per second (bps).

It indicates the speed or capacity of a network connection.
