The five generation of computer is characterized by the electrical current flowing through the process mechanism. Every generation has different technologies involved in terms of processor, memory and device integration.

Answer 2

Upgrade of Technology decides what kind of monitor to be used, how an integrated memory needs to be, how a device should look like.

In other way, if there is an improvement in showing the display in monitor it does not mean that technology is advanced. In the same way, you cannot say that since the memory is advanced, there is an up gradation in technology (think of integrated memory with classic monitor).

Since we have wonderful device with classic memory and screen display, we cannot say that it shows advancement of technology. Each and every electrical, electronic and digital world decides the Technology advancement level.
