Looking for articles on impact of microprocessors in society

[bullion416]

I am having some trouble locating some articles that discuss the impact of microprocessor technology and the use of microprocessors/microcontroller solutions in society. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where to find information on this topic? Thanks in advance

have you tried the internet?j/k

seriously though, there aren't very many broad scope articles like that because the scope is sooooo broad. considering I had a wristwatch once that had a more powerful cpu than my first 8088 pc it's no wonder, as articles like that would have to take up a zip code to dictate the impact of the tech.

Back issues of Wired magazine should have that type of article.

...For school I presume. If so then you don't necessarily need articles with the same thesis as your paper. Come up w/ your own idea about the matter and google for articles that support your points. Write down an outline, then look for articles to back it up.

If I had to write such a paper I'd make alot of comparisons to fire and the wheel.

Nevermind, I found what I needed. Actually, I ended up finding a bunch of great articles on this site: Embedded Systems Programming Magazine
