Another week, another 8am lecture. Week 2 was all about the history of computing - the rise of microsoft, IBM, and apple, as well as the birth of the internet, which has since become an integral part of modern life. It was interesting to learn how the computer developed over time from the huge, room-encompassing machines of the past, to the compact personal computers we know today. Ohh how wrong Professor Frink (from The Simpsons) was when he said:
"...I predict that within 100 years, computers will be twice as powerful, 10,000 times larger, and so expensive that only the five richest kings of Europe will own them."
