(b) The characteristics of third generation computer are :-
1. Third generation computers used smaller sized
transistors placed on silicon chips, called
semiconductors.
2. These computers used an operating system for their
overall functioning.
3. These computers started using keyboards and
monitors.
(c) Charles Babbage invented the difference engine in 1822.
This device was made from mechanical parts. It could
perform tabular calculations. Charles Babbage also
invented the analytical engine in 1833. This machine
was made from steam driven mechanical parts. It could
perform all arithmetic operations such as addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division. It had All
the main parts that any modern computer has – input
device, storage device, a central processing unit, and
an output device.

(d) calculating devices invented before the modern computer
are :-
1. Abacus - It was the first mechanical calculator
developed in Chine approximately 2600 B. C. It
performed simple addition, subtraction, multiplication
and division of numbers. An abacus consists of beads
that can be moved on a series of sticks within a
wooden frame.
2. Napier’s Bones - Napier’s Bones was invented in
1617 by Scottish Mathematician Sir John Napier.
The device was used to solve complex multiplication
and division calculations easily. It consisted of rods
made from bones with numbers marked on them.
3. Pascaline calculator - The Pascaline calculator was
developed in 1642 by a French Mathematician Blaise
Pascal. It was made up of wheels, dials and gears.
It could solve complex mathematical calculations
involving large numbers. It is considered as the
first mechanical calculator in the world.
(e) The characteristics of fifth generation computer are :-
1. These computer can recognize speech and handwriting
patterns.
2. These computer can recognize images and graphs.
3. These computer are capable of performing highly
complex calculations at very high speed.

and instructions used by the CPU to perform various
tasks. Ram is a read/write memory. Information can
be written to it and read from it at a very fast speed.

(b) editing text refers to making changes to the text in
a document. It involves adding text, deleting text,
copying and moving text, and checking spelling and
grammatical mistakes in the text.
Formatting text refers to change in the appearance and
arrangement of text in a document. It involves size,
color, style or case and alignment of text borders,
shading, etc.
(c) The normal view allows you to create and design a pres-
entation. This view lets you work on the contents of
the individual slide. It allows you to navigate between
slides and to rearrange, add or delete slides from a
presentation.
