1. micro

   Micro is a prefix derived from the Greek word "mikros," meaning small or tiny. It is used in the metric system to denote a factor of one millionth (10^-6). It is frequently used in scientific fields to refer to things that are incredibly small, for example, microorganisms or microchip.

1. micro

   1. Very small; this is the root of its use as a quantifier prefix. 2. A quantifier prefix, calling for multiplication by 10-6 (see quantifiers). Neither of these uses is peculiar to hackers, but hackers tend to fling them both around rather more freely than is countenanced in standard English. It is recorded, for example, that one CS professor used to characterize the standard length of his lectures as a microcentury — that is, about 52.6 minutes (see also attoparsec, nanoacre, and especially microfortnight). 3. Personal or human-scale — that is, capable of being maintained or comprehended or manipulated by one human being. This sense is generalized from microcomputer, and is esp. used in contrast with macro- (the corresponding Greek prefix meaning ‘large’). 4. Local as opposed to global (or macro-). Thus a hacker might say that buying a smaller car to reduce pollution only solves a microproblem; the macroproblem of getting to work might be better solved by using mass transit, moving to within walking distance, or (best of all) telecommuting.

Examples of Micro in a Sentence

1. Ilana Rubel:

   We’re part of a 16% minority, it is a micro minority or a super minority. This whole ‘greater Idaho’ thing I find so ironic because here they are saying, ‘We’re a 44% minority in Oregon. This is outrageous. How can we be expected to live as part of a 44% minority?’ This is a bit hilarious to me as part of a 16% minority. We certainly don’t get our policy preferences very often.

2. Ted Cruz:

   You see at universities, these essentially pampered teenagers, many of them from very wealthy homes, who complain that they don't want to hear anything that they disagree with, that it is a 'micro-aggression.' And it is the most bizarre and anti-academic notion you can have.

3. Chief Executive Olaf Swantee:

4. Damon McCoy:

   They still do not seem to cover issue ads, PACs, and other dark money groups, these issue ads, PACs, and other dark money groups might still have access to a larger range of targeting options. If this is the case, then that is a large loophole in Google's attempts to limit micro-targeting and political ads.

5. John Yang:

   It harms our community and puts us in the crosshairs of micro aggressions as well as actual physical violence.
