Invention of Computer
Invention of the Computer In 1936, Konrad Zuse made a mechanical calculator called Z1, the first binary computer.

The Apple Imac
In 2013, the all new Imac computer was made by Apple! It is 21.5-20 inch displays. It reduces reflection by 75%. Because the LCD is so close to the screen everything seems to leap right out at you. It is just 5mm thick and covers 40% less volume than before. The biggest problem for the engineers was to connect the front to the back because it is so thin. They couldn’t use other traditional methods so they found the friction-stir method. "Apple - IMac." Apple - IMac. N.p., n.d. Web. 15 Mar. 2 -
The Computer of 2050
Today we see a computer as a machine with a monitor, keyboard and case. The computers of the future won't be on top of desks, and probably won't have a monitor, keyboard or a case. They will have the ability to be controlled from anywhere in the house. We will be able to control the DVD player from the display in the bathroom. The internet, TV, DVD, stereo, and telephone all will be combined in one. This connection will travel through everything. This is simply how we see it now.
