(prHWY.com) September 20, 2012 - Mississauga, Canada -- Interested in gathering PC system information? Here is a list of interesting PC facts. Leaf through this article to know early computer history and evolution of personal computers. You might be surprised to know that the first computer came in the year '1945'. The early computer history tells us that the first electronic digital computer called "ENIAC" (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was introduced in 1945 in Philadelphia and it consumed so much electricity that lights in the nearby town dimmed every time it was switched on! Can you imagine how huge it was? It weighed 30 tons and it required 1500 square feet of floor space! Initially the computers were so huge that they used to occupy a big room.
The size was reduced gradually, but the working and storing capacities were significantly improved. The development of the microprocessor lead to the evolution of personal computers. These days, you can find numerous types of personal or desktop computers, for example, portable PCs, laptops, palmtops, etc. The way a PC works with different gadgets is just incredible. Now that the prices for good personal computers have come down considerably, even the schools in the developing countries can afford PCs. Owing to the increasing demand, they are now commonly available in the market.
Personal Computer
Even though laptops are becoming more popular, there is still a big market for desktop PCs. Kids and adults both love playing PC games. A PC takes care of all your personal things. While buying a PC, you have more choices than ever before. Companies like Dell allow you to design your computers and you can have a PC right like you want it to be! They build a system just for you. You have to decide about computer uses, whether you want to use it for playing games/music, or for business or for photography, and they provide the required things. With the help of computer software, you can use your PC as an intelligent typewriter. By using the Internet, you can send/receive mails and explore the vast treasures of information. Over the years, computers have become smaller but powerful. They have become faster and more user-friendly.
