Where It All Begins ...The computer that is residing on your desk right now has gone through so many changes since 1975 after IBM introduced its first "personal computer". In the beginning there are 2 groups of computer users, the Apple PC which is more for home use with lots of gaming programs and the IBM PC which is more for business purposes. Ultimately, from 1981, IBM PC became a household brand because of their collaboration with Microsoft to produced a universal operating system known as PC-DOS, which sets the standard for the microcomputer industry. Since then, IBM has sold million of PCs and evolved into a complete family of computers and peripherals. It is also at this time when more software were written for this family of computers as compared to the other different system on the market. E.g. CP/M Operating system Today's computer has became much more powerful than before and they are smaller and lighter too. The software that we uses has also went through much changes and what we does today seems like science-fiction to those people from that era. As the hardware and software becomes more sophiscated, it requires more memory and storage space just to keep up with its functionality. The Computer today can do much more work than the giant mainframe of the early days. Technologies is still improving at an exorbitant rate despite the fact that the Software and Hardware today is getting cheaper and cheaper day by day. If
