History of the PC

 

History of PC


The personal computer (PC) that we all know and use everyday was once something that would take up a whole room. Companies that were able to make computers feasible for people to buy for home usage was a small company MITS which made the first computer for people to buy called the Altair. 


 



 

Early Production of PC

Once the Altair was released to the public, some hobbyists took this as an opportunity to form a company and make computers cheaper to make and sell. Apple was the leading company that was formed and then there were two other mass produced computers that were sold at the time. IBM who was once the most dominate computer company for a long time didn't come around until 1981. Some time after the computer business picked up, Apple released "Lisa" which was a graphical user interface (GUI), which would display icons and text files would look how they would be printed out on paper.

 




Late Production of PC


Computers had already been continuously upgrading throughout the whole time they have been around and still are being upgraded. AMD made the first 64-bit processor which is how most computers operate nowadays. Newer computer software for running better are being released and updated. All computer parts are getting upgraded to be faster and perform better. 



Impact


The computer has had probably one of the biggest impacts on how we function as a society. It has allowed us to get information super fast and talk to people from across the world. The computer has revolutionized how we do our jobs. The computer has allowed us to export information at a super fast rate that the time to finish a job has decreased so much.

I don't typically keep up with everything that comes across the mainstream news. I use some social media to get that type of information from but most of the stuff I look at is gaming news. So here are the top 5 sites I use to find that type of information.  Kotaku   Kotaku is generally the most used website for gaming news. What I like about Kotaku is that it doesn't just let you know about new features in a game, or it's expected release date. Kotaku takes it a step further and talks about the gaming community as a whole, such as drama that is happening on Twitch. Kotaku sheds some light on how the gaming community can be widespread and still have it's struggles to deal with from certain creators. IGN IGN is a place where you would go to find some reviews of games, new superhero shows, and much more. IGN likes to mostly just give the readers a slight insight to how a game might actually feel while playing, rather then just looking at a trailer and hoping it's good

Diffusion Theory

 Vaping Vapes have been around for plenty of years now. It used to not be as popular because many people were skeptical of it. So why did it eventually become popular for a long time and then fall off after a few years? This is a very relevant Diffusion Theory, since most teens were the people that adapted to using the vapes.   People weren’t really accustomed to electronic nicotine devices for a while once they came out. People started to pick them up after a while and then they grew in popularity. As teenagers got a hold of vapes and older people started buying them to sell, the increase in popularity increased therefore making the bell curve of Diffusion Theory go forward. After the huge increase in people using vapes, many studies came out saying that vapes were bad for you and you should quit. The diffusion theory is proven by this trend and many other trends that came about.

Supreme Court

  What did you learn about the Supreme Court that you didn't already know? That they get about 7000 cases a year and about 100 per week What is the most important take-away point about the Supreme Court? They get to choose the cases they want to work by a majority of judges wanting to take on that case What was the most surprising thing you learned? They release their final statements on the case to the public after a case has been decided How did the video change the way you thought of the Supreme Court? It showed me that the Supreme Court is more of a "For the People" body of government, they don't hide too much from the public compared to Congress and the President
