    The third generation of computers featured integrated circuits, which miniaturized transistors and other components onto a single silicon chip. This drastically increased the speed and efficiency of computers while reducing their size and cost. Users interacted with third generation computers through keyboards and monitors, and an operating system allowed multiple applications to run simultaneously. Computers became more accessible to the mass market as a result of these developments.

    Third Generation

    (1964-1971)
    dedicated to
    Integrated Circuits
    The development of the integrated
    circuit was the hallmark of the third
    generation of computers. Transistors
    were miniaturized and placed on
    silicon chips, called semiconductors,
    which drastically increased the speed
    and efficiency of computers.
    Instead of punched cards and
    printouts, users interacted with third
    generation computers through
    keyboards and monitors and interfaced
    with an operating system, which
    allowed the device to run many
    different applications at one time with
    a central program that monitored the
    memory. Computers for the first time
    became accessible to a mass audience
    because they were smaller and
    cheaper than their predecessors.
    By the development of a small chip consisting of the
    capacity of the 300 transistors. These ICs are
    popularly known as Chips. A single IC has many
    transistors, registers and capacitors built on a single thin
    slice of silicon. So it is quite obvious that the size of the
    computer got further reduced. Some of the computers
    developed during this period wereIBM-360, ICL-
    1900, IBM-370, and VAX-750. Higher level language
    such as BASIC (Beginners All purpose Symbolic
    Instruction Code) was developed during this period. 
    Computers of this generation were small in size, low
    cost, large memory and processing speed is very high.
    Very soon ICs Were replaced by LSI (Large Scale
    Integration), which consisted about 100 components.
    An IC containing about 100 components is called LSI.
    Features:
    1. They used
    Integrated
    Circuit (IC)
    chips in
    place of the
    transistors.
    2. Semi
    conductor
    memory
    devices
    were used.
    3.  The size was
    greatly reduced,
    the speed of
    processing was
    high, they were
      more accurate
    and reliable.
    4.  Large Scale
    Integration (LSI)
    and Very Large
    Scale Integration
    (VLSI) were also
    developed.
    5.  The mini
    computers
    were
    introduced in
    this
    generation.
    6. They used
    high level
    language for
    programming.
    Example: IBM 360, IBM 370 etc.

    Summary
    Germanium
    transistors
    replaced by silicon
    transistors.
    Integrated Circuits i.e circuits
    consisting of transistors,
    resistors and capacitors grown
    on single chip of silicon
    eliminating wired
    interconnections between
    components emerged.
    Switching speed of transistors
    went up by a factor of 10,
    reliability by a factor of 10, power
    dissipation reduced by a factor of
    10. Size reduced by factor of 10.
    Cumulative effect of this was
    emergence of extremely powerful
    CPUs with capacity of carrying out
    1 million instructions per second.
    RAM size increase to about 4
    MB. Disk Storage available in
    size of 100 MB.
    Time Shared Operating
    Systems emerged which
    increased programmers
    productivity.
    Online systems, in
    particular dynamic
    production control
    systems , Airline
    Reservation Systems ,
    Interactive query
    systems and real time
    closed loop process
    control systems were
    implemented.
    Integrated data based
    management systems
    emerged.
