History of Computers

As the semester wraps up I was thinking about the impact that computers have on our daily lives. Computers have changed the way that people around the world communicate. They have changed the way many people shop, and they have changed the way information is exchanged. Someone can sit at their computer and shop across the country or send an Email around the world with just the click of a mouse.

Remember when you would have to send a letter and wait a couple of days to get there? With Email it can be sent within seconds. Remember when you had to go across town to find that special item you were looking for? Well now you can shop from the comfort of your living room. Computers have made many things much easier. I can remember in the early days of the PC when an upgrade became available you would to have to take it to the store where it was purchased and they would send it out for an upgrade. Now you can upgrade your computer instantly with downloadable patches provided by the manufacturer. You can even download movies over the internet and watch them on your computer. Wow how the times have changed.

I believe that computers are a great asset to the world as they make many things easily available that were not so easily available before. As the Internet and computers continue to advance I believe more products and services will become available. One thing is for sure...the Internet and computers have really changed how the world does things.
