就在中國古都最精英的女子中學發生人道慘劇的時候，日本古都的奈良女子學院的一位女研究員發明了微處理器，就是從汽車，手機到冰箱無處不在的那個小精靈.
“Shima's initial design included arithmetic units (adders), multiplier units, registers, read-only memory, and a macro-instruction set to control a decimal computer system.[10] Sharp engineer Tadashi Sasaki was also involved with its development, and conceived of a single-chip CPU in 1968, when he discussed the concept at a brainstorming meeting that was held in Japan. Sasaki attributes the basic invention to break the calculator chipset into four parts with ROM (4001), RAM (4002), shift registers (4003) and CPU (4004) to an unnamed woman, a software engineering researcher from Nara Women's College, who was present at the meeting. Sasaki then had his first meeting with Intel in 1968, and discussed the woman's four-division chipset concept with Busicom and Intel.[11]
The advent of low-cost computers on integrated circuits has transformed modern society. General-purpose microprocessors in personal computers are used for computation, text editing, multimedia display, and communication over the Internet. Many more microprocessors are part of embedded systems, providing digital control over myriad objects from appliances to automobiles to cellular phones and industrial process control.“
