Binary Input Word Processor

Started work on my word processor, I've been making components for quite some time, and now i can start joining them together. Still need to upgrade and change a few of them so they are compatible when joined together. This is 100% vanilla survival friendly (no command blocks)

I plan to make this different from all other word processors, because i'm sure a lot of you have seen the same things. Also i want to give myself a challenge to build something more complex. It will be made up of 3 standalone devices, the monitor, keyboard & selected.

List of Components
Monitor - Compact & Streamline 50 character segment display, 16 bit input90%
- 2D Selector,with line memory50%

Keyboard- Alphanumeric Capitals & Lowercase + Symbols, Shift Functions, Space, Backspace, Clear all.-Total 72 different characters. Serial 8 bit output20%

CPU - Serial binary input & 8 bit paralel binary input. 16 bit output80%
- Internal & External RAM- Maybe a piston tape "CD Drive" sort of thing.50%

Most word processor that i see have the keyboard directly input into the display. So really it doesn't process any information. With mine it will run purely off a binary signal, allowing other binary computers to plug into it and run off the display. Once completed this word processor will be able to display 7.3x10^92 different combinations of letters numbers and symbols, to put that in perspective there are around 1x10^80 atoms in the universe, so a big number xD All of which will be run through a single line of redstone.

Feedback:
I'm posting this now so hopefully you guys can give some feedback/suggestions and be part of the construction. Even if you know nothing about redstone, feedback & ideas are still greatly appreciated :)

Maybe you could increase the displays to 150

I've mainly got it set to 5x10 so that i can use my shifter with line memory that goes up to 10 without modifying things. I probably can't do much more than 5x10 without messing up the frame rate when near it.
