fourth generation of computers: A designation covering machines that were designed after 1970 (approximately), i.e. the current generation. Conceptually the most important criterion that can be used to separate them from the third generation is that they have been designed to work efficiently with the current generation of high-level languages and are intended to be easier to program by their end-user. From a hardware point of view they are characterized by being constructed largely from integrated circuits and have multi-megabyte fast random-access memories fabricated in MOS technology.  2, record 1, English, - fourth%2Dgeneration%20computer
