Now part of Computer Technology Consumer Electronics
The house is not a place for bulky equipment occupying expensive real estate space. It is a place for complicated devices that require a PhD to operate. Home is where things get simplified. appliances are there to make life convenient and comfortable – the characteristics of 20th century life. There was a time when households do not have anything that resembles a computer at home, unless you are a scientist working at home laboratory.
If a market survey conducted in the late 70s asking if the average family can get by with a computer at home, with the common conception of what looks like a computer, the survey overwhelming the response would have been a resounding NO.
However, progress fast until the '90s, a decade after Bill Gates or historical fact through the introduction of desktop computing to the personal computer the world with an alliance with IBM. The world was never the same to him. Now almost every household could not imagine not get without one. Print resumes and works school children to make greeting cards, print the recipes and browse the Internet, a home computer has become as indispensable as a TV or an arbitrator. It is unlikely that all members of the family is now one of their own, whereas before the idea of sharing computer resources needed to be done due to cost. Now the home computer is cheap enough that even a grade son can have one of their own.
What made the personal computer of a success story Consumer?
Value for money is often the quality that makes any successful consumer product. With computers, the value for the money came from several technological advances that have made the personal computer an indispensable tool at home and in the office where it began in the '80s.
Productivity Booster
The PC took over the typewriter and other essential appliances. Need not be a professional writer to have a typewriter in the 60s and 70s. typing letters, forms, and his thesis of the school are the intrinsic value of a typewriter. The PC became obsolete. Almost any need can write do on the PC. And that's just a small part of what the PC can do. You can print greeting cards and graphic arts unite your room decoration.
Images & Gaming
The PC will not be as useful if not for the emergence of digital cameras and camcorders that can be edited and worked on a PC. If you have the right expansion cards, you can even edit your VHS tapes and digitize family in blank DVD for posterity, without fear of degradation of magnetic tape that is inherited. And gambling opportunities are endless, limited only by the storage capacity on the PC, but now can be overcome even with new drives in the range of gigabytes.
Entertainment
The PC is your server for all your MP3 and video files downloaded form Internet. With an amplified speaker set hooked to it, the computer is usually the main entertainment console, especially among young people. Watch movies or play your favorite music from it.
But what really made the PC like a charm lies in miniaturization was going to put all the computing power in a footprint that no difficulties of installation in any home. That, and the value for money that went down with him. While it may require some saving up, it's no trouble getting one of his salary. GP
