; Micro Landmarks
: '''Intel 8086 (1978)''' → The chip that launched the "x86 Architecture" used by almost every "Windows PC" for the next 40 years.
: '''The Apple I and II''' → The first "User-Friendly" microcomputers that proved the "Everyday Person" wanted a computer in their home.
: '''ARM Architecture''' → The "Low Power" revolution. While Intel focused on "Speed," ARM focused on "Battery Life," making the "Smartphone" possible.
: '''TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor)''' → The most "Critical Factory" on Earth. They make the most advanced chips for Apple, Nvidia, and the world, and if they stopped, the global economy would "Pause."
