Changes of computers throughout your life.

hi friend... this is a nice discussion. now a days computers and internet were ruling the world. and the computers are like became our partners in life. so it is a bit impossible to change them. they are hiding our secrets, happiness, sad and everything.

For me it is good but the disadvantage is not good it can cause cancer causing agent.

My first encounter with computers was as an undergraduate in the 1960s. That first computer took a whole large room for the computing power that a small calculator has today. Programming was done by typing up punch cards that then had to be fed into to a machine that convert them into machine language and produced many more cards that were fed into the computer. It was a slow and time consuming process. So I have seen an enormous growth in computers since then, from that monster to programmable calculators to early desktops to laptops to such thing as phones and other hand held computers.

The changes have been pretty amazing. I learned to type on a manual typewriter, and when the first word processors came out, I bought one. It turned out to be an awful piece of cr-p, and I wound up stomping it into pieces because I was so frustrated with it. That was before there were any affordable personal computers. My first computer had to be programmed, and that's when I found out that I would never be any good at programming. And to save your work, you had to hook it up to a tape recorder. But things did get better. I had a Commodore 64 that was like a miracle, even if saves were so slow that I could go make a cup of tea or coffed while it was processing. Now I have a brand-new Mac Mini with more hard disc space than I'll ever use. 320GB? I remember hoping I'd have enough money someday to afford a 40MB hard drive. From blocky letters and graphics to resolution so great that you can't even see the pixels is another big change. I love my computer.
