-The period of third generation was from 1965 to 1971. This generation was integrated circuit based.
-Transistors were miniaturized and placed on silicon chips, called semiconductors.
-These drastically increased the speed and efficiency of computers.
-Users interacted with this generation using keyboards and monitors with an operating system.
-These computers were able to run multiple applications at one time.
-This generation was more available to the common person due to the decreased size and price.http://www.webopedia.com/DidYouKnow/Hardware_Software/2002/FiveGenerations.asp
