Computer – ‘The computer can change the nature and value of communication even more profoundly than did the printing press and the picture tube.’ - J.C.R. Licklider & Robert W. Taylor’.In 1955, the typewriter was the only way to put your thoughts on to paper. Today the PC, is the only way to put your thoughts on paper. Tomorrow, a little sheet of plastic, glass, and silicon will be the only way to put your thoughts onto paper. Today, people tend to depend on computers to make their lives run. Tomorrow, people may not be able to live without computers. Over the past three hundred and seventy six years, computers and all that is included in a computer have drastically changed. Man has gone from creating huge bulky inefficient machines to creating whippersnapper machines like today's PIII PCs. Tomorrow's computers and their components will be very different from today's computers. However, no matter how much computers change in size and shape, they will always do the same thing. Computers will always exchange information in the form of either numbers, words, or a combination of both. That was the surety of yesterday, today, and it will be in the future too.
