The Primitive And Evolved Computer


In the next few minutes, you'll feel like a caveman compared to what the future holds for digital technology. 
The fact is, we as a society are but in our primal stages of technological development.

Early Stages...From a Relative Viewpoint

Though the first true computers were developed in the 1940s, it's a fair to say the first useful and digital computers were developed around the early 1950. 

Computers at this time were massive, taking up large amounts of space, and making them inefficient for the amount of computing power they performed. 

Their importance is nothing to be discredited however, because it was these computers that paved the way for breakthroughs in microprocessor technology, and other intricate hardware that goes into making modern computers today.

Exponential growth

Civilization is currently on the pre-century era of computer development, which is an important fact to keep in mind. 

Less than a century, in the scope of life and time, is a very small stretch. 

Basically what this tells us, is computers are still in their very primitive developmental state compared to what they will eventually become. 

Computers have a special ability of processing numbers and equations to the nth degree faster than our own human brains can. 

This means civilizations technological development can and will exponentially improve with time, given that several factors such as money, war and natural disasters don't stop it. 

At this point in time, the computer has been structured to a level that can quiet easily be quantified into many different forms. 

These different forms of computers will be put in places we never thought computers could be before.

The 'Smart' Future

As you and I know, the future is unforeseeable, but with our own brains a plausible presumption is easy enough to birth. 

The technological age of the future will be so powerful, the average human won't even understand how it all works. 

If you were able to look, say, 200 years from now, the processes electronics will be able to accomplish would blow your mind. 

Computers today are still babies to what they will become, even in our own generations time. 

The computer of the future is going to integrate its way into every aspect of life, something we are already beginning to seeing today. 

For example, many people own smart phones, smart cars and even smart tvs. 

Well if you didn't already know, 'computer' can be substituted for any 'smart' product on the market. 

Be it known now, because in a short period of time, everything is going to become digitized, and the days of analog will be unknown.
