A microprocessor incorporates most or all of the functions of a computer's central processing units on a single IC, or microchip. The first microprocessors emerged in the early 1970s and were used for electronic calculators using binary-coded decimal (BCD) arithmetic in 4-bit words. Other embedded uses of 4-bit and 8-bit microprocessors, such as terminals, printers, various kinds of automation etc., followed soon after. Affordable 8-bit microprocessors with 16-bit addressing also led to the first general-purpose microcomputers from the mid-1970s on.

I've poured enough drinks to know that people don't always want advice—they just want to talk.
