Consumer products

Consumer products ranging from automobiles to small appliances have been automated for the benefit of the user. Microwave ovens, washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, video recorders, and other modern household appliances typically contain a microprocessor that works as the computer controller for the device. The consumer operates the appliance by programming the controller to perform the required functions, including timing (ovens, dryers), power levels (microwave ovens), input channels (video recorders), and other cycle options (washing machines). The programming of the device is done simply by pressing a series of buttons in the proper sequence, so the user does not think of the procedure as programming a computer.

The automobile is an example of a highly automated consumer product. The modern automobile is typically equipped with several microprocessors that operate a variety of functions, including engine control (fuel-air ratio, for example), the clock, the radio, and cruise control.
