Evolution of Computers

I still remember our first computer. I believe my dad bought a second hand computer from a friend then. I was probably five or six.

Back then, for me, a PC consisted of a TV looking—big monitor, a CPU, an AVR, keyboard and a mouse with a ball-like-thingy under it (traditional mouse).

We didn’t have internet back then, but that was fine because I only used the computer for games and writing short stories.

Our second PC was an HP laptop. It was quite simple and it didn’t have a built-in camera. It had a touch-pad but my mom wasn’t very comfortable in using that so we bought a mouse. Of course, like most mice, it got broken after some time and we just have to purchase a new one when that happens. The mice at that time were the optical kind. We also used an external webcam for video-chatting purposes and such.

We also had an HP desktop which consisted of a slim monitor, a CPU, AVR, a keyboard and a mouse. It also didn’t have a built-in camera so we also used an external webcam.

My PC right now is also an HP but it comes with an internal webcam, it’s faster and it also has way more internal memory.

In my seventeen years of life, the computer has already evolved dramatically and I can just imagine how much better the computers would be five years from now.
