Change is Constant

Ever since the computer was invented, it went a long way of improvement as years passed by. I remember when I was in High School, I was tasked to report on the evolution of computers. My report was done in a chronological manner. 

I started with ENIAC 1, developed on the mid 1940's which was labeled as the first generation computers. It made use of multiple vacuum tubes, crystal diodes, relays, resistors and capacitors. It was so huge and it could occupy a whole room. On the late 1950's, the second generation computers was introduced. Transistors replaced the vacuum tubes  and the computer a lot smaller. And so, in the dawn of the third generation computers, Integrated Circuits was invented in the early 1960's. User interface was then introduced and programming languages like COBOL and Basic was developed. And in the late 1960's, ARPANET was developed by the US Department of Defense, which is now know as the world wide web or the Internet. On the early 1970's a composition of many integrated circuits on a silicon chips made up the microprocessors, the advent of the fourth generation computers which is widely used until now.

As time goes by, improvements on data handling is harnessed. Although our computers haven't evolved to the next phase, still great innovations are born. If we compare the first generation to our smart phones, a lot sure have improved. It's size, its memory, process time, so on and so forth. It makes its use a lot more convenient as it evolves. It makes living more convenient.Up until now, every week you hear innovations that amazes us. Everyday, How we handle information, how technology is developed, changes for the better. What I'm more curious is, what would it be like when once again, our technology evolves again. I really hope I could still live that day.
