Computers have revolutionized business, shopping, and relationships throughout the world. Over the years the power of computers has expanded while computer components have become increasingly microscopic in size. The first computer was named ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer), covered 1800 square feet and weighed over twenty-seven tons. Doug Engelbart created the first computer mouse in 1964, and the mouse was made from a block of wood! Back in the year 1980 a one gigabyte drive was produced for a cost of $40,000 and weighed 550 lbs.
About 10% of the world’s currency is cold, hard cash, while the other 90% is on computers only! Talk about over inflation, and a cold hard drop if the bottom fell out. The rich would retain 10 cents on the dollar, and 99% far less. Organized Crime creates over 70% of the computer viruses hoping to cash in on vulnerable computers (and people) in our midst. One of the prime avenues of attacking the vulnerable is through emails, where close to 90% of the emails are unsafe if acted on. Hackers create about 6,000 new viruses each month. MyDoom was created back on January 26, 2004, passed through emails, and became the fastest spreading virus recorded in the technical world; MyDoom ended up causing an estimated $38.5 billion in damage.
An English woman by the name of Ada Lovelace was the first known computer programmer. In the 1840’s she created the “Analytical Engine”, the Ada computer programming language, working alongside Charles Babbage who originated the concept of a digital programmable computer. Many of today’s computer brands started out in the garages of teenagers, Apple, Microsoft, and the Hewlett-Packard Company, all multi-billion-dollar companies, started out in garages. Computers may one day be able to tell us what people think. A Scandinavian company is working on a prototype which may one day be able to tell us what our pets are thinking! And that is only the beginning.
