Jack Kilby developed integrated circuit. Chips made computers much smaller. Another development was the of an operating system. Fairchild Camera and instrument corp. built he first metal oxide conductor. This was used for data processing applications.This allowed many different programs to run at once and was controlled by a central program that monitored memory.Kenneth Thompson and Dennis Ritchie came up with the UNIX operating system.First system to provide sound intermediary between the software and hardware.http://campus.udayton.edu/~hume/Computers/third.htm
