The Z1 computerHello, everyone! My name is Zhengyue Gu. You can just call me Gu. I came from Shanghai, China. This is my second at US. I'm a transfer student. Before I came here, I studied at Shanghai Normal University. I really enjoy the study and life here. It's so different from China.
Nowadays, computers play an important role in our life whether in China or US. Computers are widely used. People can't live without them. It's hard to image the 1st programmable computer Z1 was just invented 74 years ago. But the computers and internet have already made a huge change in our common life only during the 74 years. They change the way in which people communicate, do business and learn.
Also, during the 74 years, computer, itself, changes a lot too. They used to be huge. It occupied a whole big room. Compared with before, now students can bring a notbook as small as 10'' into classroom. And computers go into every famlily. The low price makes them affordable. As more and more companies join the competition, people can choose different brands, sizes, appearance and functions of it. You can even specialize one for yourself. That's so cool!

Hey Gu,
ReplyDeleteIt's cool to see your so enthused about computers. I am a big fan of technology myself. I have a Microsoft desktop and an Apple laptop. I myself am blown away by how far technology, especially computers, have come over such a short period of time. I can't wait to see what the near future has in store for us. Im pretty sure we will continue to be amazed!

Hi Gu,
ReplyDeletei myself am a big fan of technology, but i dont really like this old stuff its kinda over my head. i find it really cool how far technology has come and im looking forward to see how far it will take us.
Hey Gu.
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty wild to think that the computers were first being created 74 years ago. I mean you wonder what it was actually like for them before they had computers and how much more difficult it had to have been. But it is amazing how quickly they've adapted over the years. I mean, like you said, they occupied a whole room and were this giant things and now they come really small and hold all this data and information. Just imagine what the world of technology will be like in another 74 years!
