Sixth generation of computers
#SIXTH GENERATION OF COMPUTERS SOFTWARE#
This generation also produced a wide variety of software packages like word processing packages, graphics, games, spreadsheet packages and database management systems. This is a flexible programme which allows students to study at their own pace (either part-time or full-time), adjusting the intensity of the learning to suit their needs.
#SIXTH GENERATION OF COMPUTERS PC#
The original PC (or XT) was just about graspable in this way, but when 80286s and 68020s entered the scene, you’re looking at cache systems and virtual memory and sophisticated DMA, and really at that point things start to lose appeal to hardware designers (it starts to become such work) and is usually way more complicated than most software oriented types want to deal with.
