The  fourth Generation of computers  which started to appear in the middle of  the 1970s and continued in to the 1980s,  were distinguished by a number of significant developments:






The creation of microprocessors, which enabled the integration of the whole  CPU (Central Processing Unit)  on a single chip, was the most important advance. Computers are becoming far more affordable and smaller as a result.


 Personal computers (PCs): 

 The fourth generation saw the emergence of personal computers, such as the IBM PC and Apple II, enabling individuals and small enterprises to access computing more easily.


 Operating Systems: 

 During this time, sophisticated operating systems were created, such as MS-DOS and early iterations of Microsoft Windows, making computers more user-friendly.


 Visual User Interfaces (GUIs): 

 GUIs, such as the one made popular by the Apple Macintosh,



 Better Software:  

Numerous software applications, including word processors, spreadsheets, and games, became more common and enhanced computer functionality.


 Networking: 

Local Area Networks (LANs), which enabled computer connections and resource sharing, spread widely and paved the way for the development of the internet.


 Storage: 

Magnetic disk drives and floppy disks, which offered greater capacity and dependability than prior storage technologies, were widely utilized for data storage.


The  fourth Generation,  all things considered, signaled a substantial change towards more approachable and user-friendly computing, opening the door for the widespread usage of computers in a variety of settings, including households and businesses.
