The history of personal computers began in 1971, when the first microprocessor was
invented. This made it possible to create smaller and cheaper computers that could be
used by individuals. The first personal computer was the Altair 8800, which was sold
as a kit in 1975. It was followed by three preassembled mass-produced personal
.computers in 1977: the Apple II, the TRS-80, and the PET
The personal computer industry grew rapidly in the 1980s and 1990s, with the
introduction of new models, operating systems, software, and hardware. Some of the
most influential products were the IBM PC, the Macintosh, Windows, DOS, Word,
