THE EVOLUTION OF A COMPUTER: PAST, PRESENT

AND FUTURE
A computer runs our lives these days Smartphones, tablets and computers- we really
can’t seems to function without them. In a very short amount of time, a computer has
exploded in the market and now, many people cannot imagine a life without it. To
understand how we left the dark ages (which really wasn’t all that long ago) to where we
are today, it is important to understand how a computer evolves and why it matters.

A computer was born out of purpose. For example, search engines were created to sort
through the massive amounts of data online. With each new upgrade a computer
compounds existing technologies to create something better than what was previously
used before. And on and on it goes. .With the lightning speed of a computer evolution, it
is no wonder any people have struggled to keep up. To be fair, the scope of the expanse
of a computer is so great; wrapping everything up into a single blog post is practically
impossible.

Websites advanced along with the internet. Suddenly, everyone had a Geocities or Tripod
website dedicated to themselves. Just in infancy, websites were basic in both function and
design. This is also the time when the blogging craze started to set in on the consumer
level with the introduction of “weblogs “(later condensed to “blogs”).

Since the days of dial-up, access to the Internet is available almost everywhere. .It is rare
these days for consumers to go into a coffee shop, library or any place of business and not
be able to access a Wi-Fi signal in close range, most people still have access to the
Internet via their cellular data connection on their smartphones and personal hotspots, no
problem. A computer has truly evolved.
