Where are embedded systems mostly used?

Embedded systems are fast and smart microprocessors, smaller in size, that are the very life of home appliances.

Embedded systems have revolutionised home electronics by making them smarter.

The future of home electronics industry is the link with Internet, so that they become operational from anywhere. This will be helped by advances in embedded systems.

Embedded systems find application in microwave ovens, cell phones, calculators, digital watches, VCRs, cruise missiles, GPS receivers, heart monitors, laser printers, radar guns, engine controllers, digital cameras, traffic lights, remote controls, bread machines, fax machines, pagers, cash registers, treadmills, gas pumps, credit/debit card readers, thermostats, pacemakers, blood gas monitors, grain analyzers, and what not. s-Pcf-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;letter-spacing:.3pt'>VLSI is just about chip design, designing hardware, whereas embedded systems are a composite solution of creating software for a given hardware to deliver required functionality.
