I love the invention of COMPUTERS. I absolutely love it. It makes everyone`s life so much easier. I can chat with my cousins that are in the other part of the world, shop online, watch videos, listen to movie, learn new ideas and so much more. But, I seriously have no idea about them. The only things I know is how to browse the net and how to Google.
So here are the five true facts about computers:
- MySpace reports over 110 million registered users. If it were a country, it would be the tenth largest, just behind Mexico.
- Computers were actually first invented nearly 200 years ago and one of the pioneers was a female mathematician, Ada Lovelace. She created one of the first computers programs. She was born 189 years ago and her father was a famous English poet, Lord Byron.
- Bill Gates dropped out of college (Harvard) before founding Microsoft. This just shows you don’t need school to be become successful.
- One terabyte (1000 gigabytes) is equivalent to storing a stack of
documents that is more than 16 times the height of New York’s empire
state building. - The first computer mouse was invented by Doug Engelbart in around 1964 and was made of wood.
