THE THIRD GENERATION (1966-1975)

The introduction of IBM-360 series of computers in 1965 marked the beginning of this generation. The transistors were replaced by solid state technology and integrated circuits. This offered:

Greater miniaturization
Effective use of Input/Output devices
Random access and mass storage devices
High speeds (of the order of Nano seconds, i.e. 10–9 seconds)
Time sharing and Multiprograming capabilities
Higher level languages like COBOL/FORTRAN, etc.
Modular design
Large memory.
