'High level' programming languages such as ALGOL, COBOL, and FORTRAN were introduced in which computer generation?

'Mainframe computers became powerful enough to support thousands of online remote terminals' during which era?

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) relies solely on hardware for efficient communication.

The result of computer data processing is called the input.

The introduction activity in the text involves discussing the influence of technology on personal lives.

High level programming languages like ALGOL, COBOL, and FORTRAN were introduced in the third generation of computers.

Mainframe computers became powerful enough to support thousands of online remote terminals during the second era of computer technology.

A computer is a programmable electronic device that only takes data through output devices.

The first generation of computers used vacuum tubes as the main component.

Transistors were used as a substitute for vacuum tubes in the second generation of computers.

The third generation of computers introduced the use of integrated circuits (IC) as a substitute for transistors.

The VLSI technology enabled the creation of smaller, faster, and cheaper computers from 1980 onwards.

The term 'fifth generation computer' was coined to describe a 'smart' computer built in the mid-1990s.

Mainframe computers in the 1960s were powerful enough to support thousands of online remote terminals.

The development in the fifth generation of computers involved artificial intelligence, expert systems, and natural programming language.

The speed of electron movement in first-generation computers was close to the velocity of light.

The third generation of computers utilized semiconductor memory as the main memory.

The fourth generation of computers marked the era of Personal Computer (PC) technology.
