program
The Harvard Mark 1 was another computer that could be programmed and it was an

extremely huge computer. Later, Mark 2 and Mark 3 were created

a magnetic tape drive

In 1953 the model 701was announced by IBM. It was called an electronic data processing

Moores Law- every piece that could fit on a circuit would double by the next

month\week
More mini computers were created and started to become popular
This is when Apple and Microsoft become large companies. Both began working on

computers. The Apple was the first colorized computer.

IBM later introduced another personal computer\pc. This was the first computer with mc

DAWS
Computers were now over sold and not user friendly

IBM then came up with Windows
The internet began in 1970 but was called something different
After the internet became popular computer blew up and became what they are today
