The future of computing is assured as a common theme in everyday life now and in the future.
It has given us the means to perform complex calculations and functions that have led today’s society into breaking new ground in almost every theme known to man.
We now have computers that range in size and power outside the scopes of the first theoretical designs.
We have laptops/notepads which are built for portability and only the size and weight of some books.
They have obtained speeds that in the early days of computing would be deemed un-attainable and at only a fraction of the size are used as part of many company’s normal working day.
With the addition of the World Wide Web and the, connections between computers are possible without the need for being in the same building.
This portability has as it given the businesses information on the move and the ability to convey or store information readily at hand .
We have the addition of PDA’s which are the size of a purse or wallet and can be placed in a bag or pocket and making them even more portable and have some proportion of the power of a laptop or micro-computer on the move.
Computing has spread to gaming as the technology of consoles revolve around computer technology, the astounding graphics displayed need ultra quick calculations to meet the criteria of present day gaming.
Music, Words and Pictures can be shared across countries instantly just by using your computer and the internet in fact the list is endless as data is freely distributed via the computer.
There are too many uses to list for the micro- computer it has captured the hearts and minds of the world and there are no signs of it slowing down, we watch with interest for the next computer innovation as speeds increase and innovations progress.
