  1. Andrew Liacopoulos Sean Gupta Evolution of the Computer http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/090122/Apple-Steve-Jobs/original-mac-computer_l.jpg

  2. The first computers were meant to calculate and solve complex arithmetic problems Konrad Zuse’s Z1 computer http://www.cczwei.de/images/issues/zuse_nachbau_z1_300_300.jpg

  3. The advances in weapons during WWII lead to major development in computers ENIAC Computer http://homepage.cs.uri.edu/courses/spring2005/csc101s1/assigns/ENIAC00.gif

  4. While similar to the vacuum tubes in structure, the development of transistors moved society towards the modern computer of today One of 1st transistor computers http://www.digital60.org/images/trans1.gif

  5. Major change in the main purpose of the design of the computer was the development of the general purpose computer IBM’s 7090 computer http://www.cozx.com/~dpitts/pix/ibm7090.jpg

  6. In the late 1970s, the market for a personal computer was growing so companies like IBM manufactured “PCs” IBM’s 1st PC http://www.vintage-computer.com/images/ibmpc.jpg

  7. The design of computers has been and will continue to be based on the needs of consumers http://bindapple.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/mac-book-pro-laptop.jpg
