ComputersPast, Present, and the Future By Bridget Danis
Early Computers • In the 1940s, computers were just starting to be popular in businesses. Now, we are used to having small computers on desks or tables, but in the 1940s, computers were the size of a room!
Computers Today • We use computers every day, even if we really don’t know it. Did you know that calculators are computers? Yup. If it has a circuit board, its considered a computer.
Computer Sites- Out of Hand? • Most teenagers spend a lot of time on these sites. So much that it is starting to concern parents, teachers, and other adults. Another concern is that a teen claims they have a boyfriend/girlfriend, who is really a 40 year old man. Bottom-line: These websites are dangerous!
Worries of Parents • Sites like Webkinz, Club Penguin, and others are causing the worries of kids spending too much screen time a day.
The Sims 2 • Throughout the 21st century, a new revolution has started. The Sims 2 games are popping up all over the country with now over 100,000,000 games sold worldwide! What is the Sims? First, you buy the original Sims 2 game, and you can add expansion packs like Sims 2 Pets, Sims 2 Free Time, etc. Then, you can create your own virtual world!
Computers in the Future • So what will computers be like tomorrow? Well, the possibilities are endless. We may have cars that drive themselves, mini portable computers ( the size of iPods) or suppose we may even have cars that fill themselves up with gas ( hopefully there are also computerized gas prices that lower themselves to peoples complaints!)
