Computers have evolved over the last century. Starting from a enormous heavy computer that took up an entire room to a small computer that only takes up a quarter of your desk. Before there was only two major brands who conquered computer engineering, and those companies were Apple and Microsoft. Now, there is more of a variety when it comes to computers (there are more brands). The significant difference between now and then is that we have portable computers (tablets, iPads, and laptops). The sizes of the computers have min getting smaller/thinner and affordable.
There's always a question on my mind: How far will computers evolve? My hypothesis is, since technology is advancing in an extraordinary speed, computers would be more advanced, "smarter", and powerful. Computers would be advanced because they would have or hold new features that could help us in daily activities. There have been rumors of starting a "super computer" where the computer is smarter than the human brain. Another thing to be expected in the future is that computers would be come powerful. That technology and using computers would be in everything and conquer over everything. Everything is going to be touch or spoken, there's going to be no mouses. Everything will be more advances and more progress to help us. No one can foreshadow the future, all we know is that computers are evolving right before our very eyes.
