Fourth generation: LSI computers

With the development of LSI, the computer entered the fourth generation development. The fourth generation computer takes the large scale integrated circuit as the logic element and the memory, causes the computer to the miniaturization and the massive two direction development. From the first generation to the fourth generation, the architecture of the computer is the same, which is composed of controller, memory, arithmetic and input, called von Neumann architecture.

Why does the computer appear?

What is a controller?

What is memory?

What is the input device?

What is the output device?

What is the von Neumann architecture?
