Modern desktop computers, video game consoles, laptops, tablet PCs, and many types of handheld devices, including mobile phones, pocket calculators, and industrial embedded systems, may all be considered as microcomputers. High-performance microcomputer systems began to be used widely in business, in engineering, in “smart” or intelligent machines employed in the factory and office, and in military electronics systems. In microcomputer we have two types of memory- Volatile and Non-volatile. Volatile are memory that stores data for short time of period till the light is switch on. Non-Volatile are memory that stores data permanently. Microcomputers are capable of accepting, storing, retrieving, and manipulating information. This ability to manipulate information in many different ways and store and retrieve it quickly makes computers valuable.
