The Advancement of Computers

Is further discoveries and technological advancements taking over our lives and the world as we know it? Throughout the years man has created advanced technology to benefit themselves.

A dramatic transformation in the advancement of technology has continued to evolve since the 1950’s. As computers started out, they were very expensive to make, they were slow and the computers were very basic. Now in days people can carry computers in their backpack but in the 90s, the computers would take up a whole room. The reason their computers were so large was because they required magnetic drums to store memory for the computer and vacuum tubes as switches and amplifiers. Today, these devices are built into our computers and other time they made them more compact. Also, as time went on, we received faster and more advanced technology. We are still using computers from the 1950s today; they are just highly advanced versions of their

A majority of the working people sit at the desk all day, using one or more computers to work with. Even 100 years ago this was unthinkable and far away.

Since that time, both we human beings and our technology have evolved. Over the course of history, technology has evolved from stone flakes to a world of space travel and super-computers. The increased availability to information could lead to the development to several necessary and desired advancements in technology over the next ten years that could affect El Arco and the world as well.

The 1990’s were known for a number of encouraging but also undesirable events. Socially, economic expansion and environmental awareness created development within the United States.

Scientist believed the human race began approximately 195,000 years ago, but what they seem to forget is it was reborn in the 19th century and created the age of technology. While some would argue that technology has led the competence of the human race backwards towards the stone-ages, technological advancements in history by engineers have allowed the establishment of a world that is truly modern and interconnected by power, communication and transportation. In the beginning, humans would have to rely on themselves and the sun for power and light, respectively. Additionally, humans were limited to the number and strength to accomplish tasks such as hunting, building homes, and providing other necessities for themselves and their families.
