Most ICs are not programmable but some are. FPGA's are a very common example of something that is programmable. Field Programmable Gate Array. The large FPGA's made in the last 10 years can be programmed to being a computer or any other digital circuitry you care to come up with.

FPGA's are relatively expensive and tend to be used for low volume or specialized products.

You can program FPGA's in a strange parallel language similar to C but different in that you are creating circuits that can all operate simultaneously.

eeproms (think flash memory) are a kind of memory IC. They are an IC that store information and can be rewritten (You can write any bits you want to it).

But most circuits are permanently wired and not changeable.

What are some benefits of integrated circuits?

As compared to using separate components such as transistors, I guess.An integrated circuit is cheaper to manufacture, it uses less space, uses less energy, and works faster (because of the shorter distances involved). Also, with modern technology it is possible to have millions or even billions of elements (such as transistors) on a single integrated circuit, making it possible to design circuits that would be absolutely impossible without an integrated circuit.

Do the integrated circuit and the microchip go together?

An integrated circuit can be either monolithic (all on one piece of semiconductor) or hybrid (several separate components attached to a tiny ceramic circuit board). A microchip is another name for a monolithic integrated circuit.
