Just as the Industrial Revolution  (58)  an immense  (59)  of tasks from men’s  (60)  and enormously expanded productivity,  (61)  the microcomputer is rapidly assuming huge burdens of drudgery from the human brain and  (62)  expanding the mind’s capacities  (63)  that man has only begun to grasp.  (64)  the chip amazing feats of  (65)  become possible in everything from automobile engines to university laboratories and hospitals, from farms to banks and corporate offices, from outerspace to a baby’s nursery.
