Microcontroller
A micro controller is an integrated circuit or a chip with a processor and other support
devices like program memory, data memory, I/O ports, serial communication interface
etc integrated together.
The 8051 Microcontroller was designed in 1980's by Intel.
Its foundation was on Harvard Architecture.
It is used in embedded system applications

Embedded Systems
An embedded system is some combination of computer hardware and software, either fixed
in capability or programmable, that is specifically designed for a particular function.
