Defining the fifth generation computers is somewhat difficult because the field is still in its infancy. Using recent engineering advances, computers are able to accept spoken word instruction (voice recognition) and imitate human reasoning. The ability to translate a language to another with the help of machine NLP (Natural Language Processing) is now possible which can be one of the components for the fifth generation computer. Super conductor technology, massive parallel processing and bio-chips will be the foundation technology for these computers. Researches are being carried out to make computers think like us.
