Document Summary
Computing in canada part 2: the age of the microprocessor. Individual and interactive use of computers was only possible on time-sharing systems -- popular technique allowed multiple-users immediate access to the system"s resources. In fall of 1971, intel corporation announced a new era in integrated electronics to be brought about by the microprocessor -- a computer"s central processing unit on a single integrated circuit. It allowed the design and manufacture of inexpensive computer hardware. By the end of the 1980s, microprocessor-based computing became a major force in redefining the modern society and engineering its digital future. Canadian high-technology industry could not properly develop and stay competitive on the world"s market without investing in electronics. Government teamed up with the northern electric company to research, develop, and manufacture a variety of electronic devices such as transistors, diodes, and integrated circuits. Dynalogic founded by murray bell in 1973 later in 1981 bytec management. The dynalogic dms-8: announced on october 1, 1976.
