Large scale integrated circuit computer

Introduction

Computermanufacturersbegantobringcomputerstoordinaryconsumers.Atthistime,minicomputershadsoftwarepackageswithfriendlyinterfaces,programsfornon-professionalsandthemostpopularWordprocessingandspreadsheetprograms.In1981,IBMintroducedpersonalcomputers(PCs)foruseinhomes,offices,andschools.Thecompetitionofpersonalcomputersinthe1980scausedpricestocontinuetofall,thenumberofmicrocomputerscontinuedtoincrease,andcomputerscontinuedtoshrinkinsize.TheAppleMacintoshseries,whichcompeteswiththeIBMPC,waslaunchedin1984.TheMacintoshprovidesafriendlygraphicalinterfacethatuserscaneasilyoperatewithamouse.

Thefirststagewasfrom1971to1973,andtherewere4004,4040,8008microprocessors..In1971,IntelCorporationdevelopedtheMCS4microcomputer(CPU4040,four-bitcomputer).Later,theMCS-8modelwith8008asthecorewasintroduced.
