There were so many different interesting concepts in this class but for the conservation of space, I will narrow it down to the most fascinating one to me: the history of computers. We learned about very basic forms of the computer and how big they were. We also learned that they were first used for children to help them learn to read. Then we learned about the program Eliza which was like a computer program to serve as a pyschotherapist.
Anyway, I am very interested to see the growth in the use of computers (or similar items: phones, ipads, etc) from beginning until now. It is fascinating to me that computers were not widely used and needed at one point of time because nowadays the majority of the world is dependent on them. They are becoming more and more accessible and convenient in their many different forms, which makes me wonder how they are going to look in like 20 years from now.
