Computer
It
took years and centuries of experiment of how electricity can be useful in
our daily lives. From the time of ancient Greeks (discovered that
amber, rubbed with fur, attracted light objects such as feathers), through
the time of William Gilbert (investigated the relation of static electricity
and magnetism in 16th Century), Benjamin Franklin (1952,
successful kite experiment, introduced the conventional use of positive and
negative to distinguish kinds of change) and Alessandro Volta (invented the
electronic pile or battery). And many other men who were contributed their
studies and experiments in the field of electricity.
Thus, through
the curiosity of man and needs,
electronic machine called computer was invented. It was 1981 when
International Business Machine or IBM first personal computer PC was
introduced. At that time 'till today hundreds of design, shapes and
sizes have been produced by IBM and other companies (NEC, Compaq, HP,
Gateway and etc.).
But there is always a big question mark every
time we use or sit down in front of our latest model personal computer, “…Is
there any other model of personal computer that can be built twice or one
hundred times faster than this in the future? Is it possible to change the
size, the look/shape, the performance and compatibility of personal
computer?” Well…, who knows, let’s wait and see. The future is
not too far for possibilities.
