There have been a lot of advancements over the last 50 years and perhaps none have been more important than that of the computer. When you stop to consider it, the computer impacts everything about your life. It is a bit mind numbing.
The computer has evolved greatly from its beginning. When computers first started they took up an entire room by themselves. Now, you can have one sit on your lap while you look at its 9" screen and type on a keyboard that is not any bigger. We refer to our computers as a pc, or personal computer because they are just that.
Our cell phones have even now been infiltrated with computer systems. It is amazing that we can surf the internet, check email, do live chat and many other functions all from our cell phones now. There are a lot of things that we do on our computers at home that now be done from our phone while we are away from home.
There are a lot of people that are on a computer for more hours a day than they are not. This happens because they have a job that requires them to be on a computer all day and then they choose to be on them at home for many different reasons. In fact, many jobs exist today that did not exist in the past because of computers. It is true that some jobs were lost as a result of the advancement of the computer, but the balance weighs heavily in more jobs created than taken.
When a student begins to attend college, they will discover that a pc is part of the required school supplies. So much of the schoolwork is done on the computer that a college student without a pc would not be able to survive and pass their classes without one. Some old timers worry that the penmanship skill is rotting away because of computers, but in reality it is irrelevant in today's world. As long as someone can write with enough penmanship that it can be read by others, they will do just fine in this world
Computers have even reached the car industry. Many aspects of our car are controlled by a computer as we travel down the road. Some of those things include the traction control, anti lock brakes, air/fuel mixture and on star for those who have that.
Computers also play a role when we are eating out. The restaurants have computers that help to keep track of all of the orders to make sure that they are placed correctly as well as making sure that none of them get lost.
Today there is a pc in nearly every American home and most homes in some other countries. Computers have also been integrated into nearly every work space in almost every industry. Everything about our lives, including the way we research and study, the way we socialize, the way we read, the way we get news, the way we share pictures and videos and many others have been revolutionized as a of the computer. The computer certainly has a strong case for being the biggest and the best advancement in the last 50 years. - 30431
