I’m confused! I thought the fourth generation was more advanced, but I can't recall if that means it’s not monolithic.

I have a vague memory that the third generation introduced more distributed systems, which makes me lean towards the first generation being monolithic.

I remember practicing a question about ICS generations, and I think the second generation was mentioned as more modular. So maybe it's not that one?

I think the first generation is monolithic, but I'm not entirely sure. It feels like something I read about in our last review session.
