sixth generation of computers
The sixth generation period is 2000-to-date. In the sixth generation, ULSI technology became UULSI (Ultra2 Large Scale Integration) technology, resulting in the production of microprocessor chips with ten million electronic components. This generation is based on parallel processing hardware, nanotechnology, AI (artificial intelligence) software. AI is an emerging branch of computer science, interpreting the means and method of making computers think like human beings. In this generation, all high-level languages such as C#, Asp.net, Php, Android, Mobile computing, etc. are used. People can do every job with the help of computer. Even people can also cook the food with the help of a computer. Each and every job that people can do with the help of computer. The computer comes in your pocket or the palm of your hand. AI programmers started with basic algorithms for reasoning and progressed to using probability and economic theories to help build the ability to solve more complex problems. Advances in the field of fuzzy logic have introduced the ability to solve problems where there is no clear right or wrong answer. While it is possible to solve more complex problems, the amount of computing power required expands exponentially when the solution is difficult. Research is being done to find ways to make troubleshooting more efficient and less expensive. In the military, AI has helped improve simulators to train soldiers on unexpected problems that arise in different peacekeeping missions around the world. Artificial intelligence is also prevalent in many of the world’s spy networks to help determine the probability of certain actions occurring in highly volatile parts of the world.
In the auto industry, robots are used in manufacturing, but AI has infiltrated the vehicles themselves. From global positioning systems to warning a driver of a potential danger ahead, artificial intelligence is present. Some cars can even apply the brake or swerve the vehicle out of danger if necessary. Artificial intelligence has also helped in the development of speech recognition (VAR) software. While you can’t understand the words, VAR has allowed people with disabilities to speak into a microphone and see the words appear on the screen. Although people need to speak slowly and clearly to function properly, and it’s not 100% accurate, VAR is now found in many portable devices as well. Being able to browse the web or send a text message has become easier than ever, and more advancements are on the way.
