 third generation of computer  integrate circuit  short name (IC)
       

....

the third generation of computer  integrated currcuits  in place of transistor 

a signal i.c  has many transistor  resistors and capsistor along with thee associated circuit

advantages /feature  of generation 

1) in this generation  remote processing time sharing and multi programming operating system wre  used 

2) high level languge (fortran second to third)

 some  features of generattions

i c used 

more reliable 

generat less heat compared  first or second generation

lesser maintenance

consumed less electricity

support high level language
