Intel's introduction of single chip microprocessors containing the complete CPU of a computer on one monolithic integrated circuit, starting with their four bit 4004 microprocessor in 1971 followed by their eight bit 8008 microprocessor in 1972. Interestingly both of these microprocessors were originally designed as proprietary products to be sold only to the customer that requested them, while the 4004 was indeed used in the product it was designed for (a business desk calculator) the customer became dissatisfied and agreed to sign the rights back to Intel to sell the 4004 on their own, but the 8008 (and a similar chip designed by Texas Instruments at the same time) was completely rejected and the customer built his product using just standard 7400 series TTL chips so Intel was free to sell the 8008 on their own.
The 8008 eventually lead to the 8080, the modern 80x86 family (including Pentium, Celeron, etc.), and the latest Duo Core, i5, i7, and other multicore Intel microprocessors.

Which generation are the microcomputers?
Microcomputers were first introduced during the third generation of computers, which occurred in the late 1960s to early 1970s. They were small, affordable, and used microprocessors, making them accessible to individuals and businesses. The microcomputer revolutionized the computing industry and laid the foundation for the personal computer era.
Did the microchip lead to the development of personal computers?
No, microchips made missile guidance computers possible in the early 1960s. The microprocessor (a specific type of microchip containing a complete CPU) made microcomputers possible in the early 1970s and when microprocessors became powerful enough in the early 1980s, the first personal computers.
What technology device for computers was introduced during the 1970s?
Perhaps the floppy disk and floppy disk drive. IBM introduced it (8 inch disks) in 1971 for the System 370 to boot (µIPL in IBM terminology) the microcode store. These floppies were read-only by the 370.

What are the sources of computer?
Alan Turing's experiments in the 1940s were a forerunner of computers. The computers built in the 1970s functioned like today's computers but were much bigger.
