=​The Effects Of A Microprocessor =

A microprocessor is normally thought of as a single ‘chip’. An example is a CPU (Central Processing Unit) of a computer which controls the main functions of a computer. A very good example is calculator, were the microprocessor is programmed, and know what to do when entering equations. Big machines, such as washing machines, are controlled by microprocessors. The microprocessor controls the type of wash, the temperature and every other aspect of the washing stages.



The effects of:

Leisure time - microprocessor controlled objects such as washing machines, cookers, heating systems etc. do not need direct human control because they have the microprocessor which does the work for you. Therefore you don’t have to do much work yourself, and therefore you become extremely lazy.

Social interaction - from the comfort of the home people can communicate in many more ways than the traditional telephone and postal service: - Email - Online messaging - Mobile phones - SMS - Answer machines - Social interaction

The needs to leave the home - computers linked to the Internet have greatly reduced the need for people to leave the home: - Entertainment - Goods - Food - Services

Microprocessors are used a lover the house, and therefore you get more leisure time. But what happens in most cases is that you become a “couch-potato”, you only watch TV, and nothing recreational.
