1. Which generation of computer is still under development
a. Fourth Generation
b. Fifth Generation
c. Sixth Generation
d. Seventh Generation
Correct Answer: b. Fifth Generation
Explanation: Todays computer fall under the fourth generation computers that uses the LSI
and VLSI Integrated Circuits. For fifth generation computers it is expected for Ultra Large
Scale Integrated Circuits (ULSI). The study for using Gallium Arsenide instead of silicon
chips is underway. Electrons can travel 5 times faster in Gallium Arsenide compared to the
silicon. Similarly, genetically engineered protein molecules are being tried for processors.
Fifth generation computers are expected to have artificial intelligence, ability to use natural
language.
2. Artificial Intelligence is associated with which generation?
a. First Generation
b. Second Generation
c. Fifth Generation
d. Sixth Generation
Correct Answer: c. Fifth Generation
Explanation: A computer is a slave in a box. This is a saying due to the lack of intelligence
in computer in spite of their speed, accuracy, diligence and reliability. A computer can only
perform instructed task in the way already programmed. Thus, scientists are trying to develop
artificial intelligence in computers so that they can think and make decisions themselves. This
is expected for fifth generation computers.
