the computer
John W.Mauchly J.Presper Eckert
1946
Store information, send messages, listen to music…
My favorite invention is the computer. The first computer was invented in 1946 and it was invented by John W. Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert. We can use the computer to do a lot of things. It can be used for storing information, send messages, listen to music and so on. As time pass by, the technology is developing, and the computer is advancing too.
The computer
Computers are becoming more and more important in our daily life. Do you know the history and the changes of computers? Computer was invented in 194. At that time, the machine was huge and it was as large as a big house. It weighed about 30 tons.
The computer is a very useful tool in our life, in our study as well as work. For example, computer can send some messages to foreign friends by e-mail. The computer can open our eyes to let us know more. The computer is the most helpful invention in the world.
.
It can help us with our schoolwork too.
There are many functions. We can listen to
music when we are tired, and we can play the
games on computer for fun. It makes us relax.
It’s hard to imagine what our life would be like
if we had no computers in our daily life. And in
my opinion, computers are going to change
our life completely in the near future.
