The last six years have witnessed explosive development in the field of microcomputers and microprocessors. This has resulted in the introduction of a large number of microprocessors, LSI memory devices (RAM, ROM and PROM) and other related products, both in MOS and bipolar as well as in other new LSI technologies.
This paper reviews some areas in which advances in the microcomputing field do, can and will enhance education and research in computer science.
