Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The fixed program computer was used earlier which used wired processor and it was very laborious to make changes in processors. In the fixed program, the computer was following the build-in instructions and were processing only those data which were stored in memory.

Stored program computers are used in modern computers that are those computers that have single process structure and which will have instructions on how to perform the function on the computer and how to keep track of the processed data in computation.

Stored program computers keep program instruction in electronic memory.
