This week, we were asked ‘What is a computer?’. Here were my responses to the group worksheet.
It’s a group many many of transistors that can hold numbers and do calculations. It can manipulate and store data.
Computers used to be used for a group of kids to crowd around and experience things like YouTube and Club Penguin for the first time. It used to be used for accidentally downloading trojan viruses on Limewire(the file you got was also completely mislabeled), used for playing internet checkers and purble place and chess titans and updating your myspace status to N-Dubz lyrics and getting superpoked by your grandma on Facebook. Computers will become something we can’t fathom right now, because how did we know that we’d ever experience something like this 15 years ago? 30 years ago? 5 years ago?
