A brief history of computing and computers.
The first computer in my parent’s house was a TRS-80 or a Trash80 as they are more commonly known. it was purchased for my sister who was in business school at Indiana University at the time,. It ended up being used by me more than anyone. That was when I decided to get my very first computer.
The Apple IIc.
Yes, I was an Apple person before I ever used a PC.
The best part of the computer was the new word processors. As a teacher, I would use the computer with my kids years before school thought they were critical. But computers are more than chips, graphics, and software. They are something that from 1980 to now would change the world.
