""Microprocessors and their descendants, microcontrollers, are now so commonplace in our electronic world, we forget that they did not exist before 1970. In 1972 the Intel company brought out their first general-purpose microprocessor, the 8008. Two far-sighted members of staff at Swansea University, Prof. David Aspinall and Dr. Erik Dagless, obtained a sample and within a few months had a working, self-contained microcomputer."
