Lecture 2

Charles Babbage was the inventor of the first digital computer, but it was more mechanical than electronic. Computers first started to be produced commercially in the 1950's but they were for only government and military use. The first PC called O was released in 1975 but it didn’t do much other then sit on a desk. The company Apple was then made by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. The Companies Microsoft and IBM then started on the computer business. While IBM focused on creating PC system as a whole Microsoft just focused on the software of the computer. The companies chose to work together creating a PC named DOS 1.0, they also created windows, which made the market troublesome for Apple. The term cyberspace came about which meant anything contained on the internet.
