Not only is technology improving, but the price is going down as technology improves. However, scientists still need more computing power to accomplish advanced robots and other language calculations. These complex mathematical models are easily handled by the fifth-generation computer. The computer can mimic the actual nerve in the human body. Neural networks were of particular importance in this generation of computers. Game play, expert systems, natural language, neural networks, and robots all had capabilities for the fifth generation computer. The fifth-generation computer added artificial intelligence to the computer to improve the speed and efficiency of advanced calculations and graphics offerings. However, computers were not as cost-effective as they are today. This generation of computers allowed manufacturers to cut prices to make computers available to the common family. Computer processing speeds increased dramatically, as the “mind” of the complex calculations the computer mastered. Microprocessors have been introduced in this generation of computers. The fourth generation was distinguished by the production of computers as we know it today. Designers delighted the minimal and chiropractors by reducing weight and size. When semiconductor packages become smaller, designers have produced smaller laptops and desktops. Semiconductors also decreased the overall footprint of the computer. Semiconductors greatly increase the speed and efficiency of the computer. These circuits are often referred to as semiconductors, due to the substrate used to design the circuit.
