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.

Privacy

 TED Talks Everyone knows that the government and other companies can access your data with certain things, but how much do they actually have of us.

Why do we need these companies keeping information about us when we are not harmful to anyone. The government likes that the private companies can get ahold of our information and that the FA doesn't work the same for them. We can use more secure browsers, fake accounts, we just need to stop giving the private companies our personal information all the time. We need to voice ourselves more so that we can improve our overall privacy, so the government can’t buy our information from companies.

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.
