The advantages in the use of microprocessors are by now very well documented and these devices are used the world over in a multitude of roles. In many cases, they are underused regarding their design capacity, but still have the large advantage of enabling manufactering time and complexity to be much reduced keeping costs down. Thus we even see them used in relatively simple household appliances and childrens toys — all of which has contributed in the past to demand exceeding supply and subsequent cost escalation. Use of a microprocessor does not of itself, necessarily produce a better system, other than reducing manufacturing complexity. The device must be built into a system able to use if efficiently and the whole must be programmed correctly for the planned work. In jargon: ‘the hardware must be able to use the software and the software must be designed for the requirement’.
