The History of computers The first computers were created my some of the most intelligent scientists of the time. Sponsored by NASA they created huge machines that would fill this whole room. These computers had the same overall capacity of a calculator and only understood a cryptic computer language. These computers were inefficient and were extremely expensive. They were treasured as the first artificially intelligent technology. The first personal computers were created by Bill gates and a small business owner. They were big and bulky but they worked far better than the Old computers, and so was born Microsoft, which would soon become a huge multibillion dollar business. A couple years later Microsoft hired a group of computer engineers to search for glitches in their computers, these computer engineers gave birth to the first hackers. 15 years later the World Wide Web was released, as a new innovative way to store data. The internet opened new potential to computers as information did not have to be stored directly on your machine. However, as all of this was going on another computer company had been selling its products. While Microsoft was adding more ways to do the same thing, Mac was doing the opposite, they were dummying down computers. Were a Microsoft computer might have 9 buttons the mac would have one. Later on Mac would overtake windows in a war of the computer processors that still goes on today. PC’s were the first to implement mice in their hardware package, as with any new innovation it was originally confusing for people who had been using keyboard shortcuts.
