1. What is the story of the triumph of the nerds?Personal computers to the market
revolutionized almost every aspect of human life tod. Triumph off the nerds is a 1996
documentary about the history of personal computing since the creation of the first Altair
personal computer to the lunch of windows 95. The first personal computer, the Altair, is
where this story starts. It was a basic machine with simply switches and lights serving as
its input and output sources. It captured the attention of computer enthusiasts who
developed an interest in building applications for it despite its extremely limited feature set.
After figuring out how to load it with BASIC, Paul Allen, one of its designers, and Bill Gates
joined to build software for it. The first consumer-friendly personal computer was
afterwards being developed by Steve Wozniak and Steve2 Jobs as a new firm called Apple.
Their first model was more of a prototype, but Apple II became a big success.

2. What is the importance of knowing the history of computer in todays lifestyle?

Studying the history of computers can give an interesting picture of how technology has
evolved and developed over the years. It is very important to study the history of something
in order to understand and better the current state of an idea or product. The history of
computers can give an idea of where it all began, how far they came, and how much is left
to study. Studying the history of computers can provide insight into why certain equipment
is popular today while others are not. The same can be said for a particular computer
manufacturer and which is produces the most popular brand.

3. What is Nerds 2.0 1 about?

Nerds 2.0.1 grew out of thepublic television series of the same name. The three one-hour
episodes aired on PBS in 1998 and featured Silicon Valley gossip columnist Robert X.
Cringely interviewing a host of Internet figures both well-known and obscure. Between the
interview spots, Cringely moves the narrative along with short expositions of developments
in networking, all delivered in his trademark wisecracking style. This formula worked better
in the previous series Triumph of the Nerds, which chronicled the rise of the personal
computer. Triumph is a relatively simple story that centers on individual entrepreneurs.
Also, the events in Triumph occurred long enough ago that some consensus has formed
about the main events and actors. Nerds 2.0.1 is, perhaps inevitably, less satisfying and
more diffuse.

4. What is the main purpose of the Internet that we have today and why it is so important in
today's society? Internet has opened a new world for many people around the World. Many
opportunities are available here. It is a manifestation of never ending innovation and

emerging as one of the most important tools.
5. How would you able to prevent the negative impact of technology to the people?

Technology helps to make people's lives easier. It helps in communication, learning,

business, entertainment, and so on. But it cannot be denied that there are also many
negative effects of modern technology. We need to avoid its negative effects. Here are
some of the ways or steps that can be taken to solve the negative effects of media or
technology: Only use the internet for meaningful activities such as studying and talking
about important things. Avoid websites that can cause evil and bad behavior (for example:
websites that are purely bashing). Remember not to overuse gadgets. It's better to just
study a lesson or maybe talk to the family than to overindulge in games or social media.
Encourage siblings and friends to also do these ways to avoid the bad effects of technology
on young people especially.
