Brief History of Computers: Insight



Technology has evolved greatly for the past hundred years; from the simple tools used by our ancestral cave men, up to the high tech gizmos that bring joy to the hipster generation. Evolution, in general, is a slow process. In Biology, it takes hundreds of years for one organism to diverge into a new species. The same goes with technology, specifically, the computer. Computers that we are using today isn't produced in just a blink of an eye. It took several modifications, irksome trial and errors, and a huge amount of patience for it to have the efficient features that we rely and enjoy today. If I were to be asked by someone if i could live without computers, honestly, my answer would be no. Yes, I know that we could live without computers just like how people lived way back, but the quality of the work produced would be lesser. As unfortunate as it sounds, we need computers to greatly improve our lifestyle. There's nothing wrong with relying on computers, it only goes bad when we depend on it too much. But isn't this the purpose why computers were invented? that we can depend on them to make things fast and efficient? I don't know about the others, but for me, the invention of computers is the greatest feat mankind has done. The bottom line is that for the past, present, and future generations, computers were, are, and will always be a support to mankind, and that it is continually evolving to further back us up in every way possible.
