I would have never guessed that computers are such intricate machines. Yes I know how to use them, and play on them, but truly had never thought about the coding schemes, and tiny chips that go into making them. To think we started with just a crank multiplying machine, whic was extraordinary at the time, to the new age mini laptop, wirless computers, is mind boggling. Hundreds of thousands of little working units in a single chip to decode all the information on your computer! Wow! Its like a mini genius.
From the Dark ages, to present time, the computer revolution is an amazing history. A history that is still amazing and continues to grow. The dark ages started with a crank multiplying machine, which just added numbers, then in the middle ages, 1958-1990, the developement of the computers own language, to the now, the present, with the tiny brains in the computer called chips, that do virtually everything on your computer for you by the touch of a button.
I look forward to learning more about my machine, as i was not very well informed that all this hard work and effort went in, not only to create, but to continue to make our machine, or little/big workers :-), more incredible.
