       The Fifth Generation Computers

You must have seen robots on the TV or in movies and marveled at how similar they are to human beings in spite of being a machine. This technique which allows a machine to think and decide on its own, just like human beings will be the main feature of the 5th generation computers.     The 5th generation computers are those computers that are used in a satellite. The computers of the next generation will have millions of transistors on one chip and will perform over a billion calculations in a single second. There is no end in sight for the computer movement. Even today, man is working hard to bring out the 5th generation of computers. These computers will have the capability of thinking on their own like a man and can work on their own without the user with the help of AI (Artificial Intelligence). These computers use different types of complex circuits and many microprocessors. The 21st century will see better, faster, smaller and smarter computers. The 5th generation computers will be used in robotics, defense, etc. They will be more reliable and intelligent machines. 5th generation computers are characterized by highly complex computers where programming skills is not necessary for the user. Technology of the 5th generation computers has already come to use in a few areas of the world
