2. 1957 • This is the one of the first generation motherboards that is seen in this picture. As you can see that the motherboard took up the entire room. This wasn’t the efficient way of storing motherboards.

3. 1984 • In this picture, the motherboard did not have many chips, but it still had resistors. The motherboard has a bug vacuum tube right in the center of it. There are also a lot of wires running through it.

4. 1984 • In this picture, motherboards were smaller but have lots of chips on the board. Now there is no vacuum tube. The ram and extra storage was useful and much easy to use with the motherboards. At this point in the motherboards, they can be used in PC instead of a big room

5. 1988 • In this next motherboard, there are no longer vacuum tubes running through it but it still has some wires running through the side. This motherboard is starting to look like the motherboards we use today.

6. 1982 and 1992 • Here is the comparison with another motherboard from 10 years span. With the first one you can see there are more chips than the 1992 motherboard. The 1992 motherboard is smaller and requires less space.

7. 1996 • This next motherboard is a lot more advanced than the other model mad in 1988, and it has no wires running through it. It has a lot of RAM drives and it is not as small as modern day mother boards, but is still smaller than what it was in the 19800’s and 1970’s

8. 2013 • This is a modern day motherboard equipped with the smallest but the most reliable and fastest parts. It is smaller than majority of the motherboards that were build and it is also more powerful
