MICROPROCESSOR As far as computers and micro processing go I can say I have yet to learn everything, but I would like to learn more. The thought of how computers perform and operate interests me so much. That is why I chose Microprocessor as my topic. I remember when I was younger about 11 years old I didn’t even know how to use the Internet, but know I can design websites based on (HTML), edit music/ pictures. I always learn something new about computers and the use for them. Computers have been dated back to as early as 500-300 BC, starting with Abacus and his device for decimals. Going on to the first calculator built capable of doing simple mathematics. To the first Microprocessor designed. The Microprocessor, is an integrated circuit made of thin silicon in which transistors are etched onto it. Dating back to the first Microprocessor designed originally by Japanese engineer Busicom and redesigned by Intel Ted Hoff. It was a breakthrough in the computer industry; the microprocessor designed by Ted Hoff was a renovation in its own. It was the first Microprocessor ever to be used in a general computer. If you were to ask for this kind of capability early in the 1960’s you would have to have an entire room full of computers to compare to what the first Intel general purpose Microprocessors could perform, and that kind of power was only offered to varies Universities, Government Research labs, & Large Corporations.
