Exactly. Naming things is just a way to classify
them, to separate one
kind of thing from another. So, the first time a term like
"microprocessor" is coined is due to necessity -- a new thing came into
being and it needed a name. Applying that name to things that follow is a
convienient way to establish a relationship to the original thing.
Then certainly similar things that came before it should also receive that
same name?
