Personal computer
There has been talk of a "computer revolution" ever since the electronics industry learned in the late 1950s to inscribe miniature electronic circuits on a chip of silicon. What has been witnessed so far has been a steady, remarkably speedy evolution. With the proliferation of personal computers, however the way may indeed be open for a true revolution in how business is conducted, in how people organize their personal affairs perhaps even in how people think.
A personal computer is a small computer based on a micro-processor; it is a microcomputer. Not all microcomputers, however, are personal computers. A microcomputer can be dedicated to a single task such as controlling a machine tool or metering the injection of fuel into an automobile engine, it can be a word processor, a video game or a "pocket computer" that is not quite a computer. A personal computer is something different: a stand-alone computer that puts a wide array of capabilities at the disposal of an individual.
