Computer Technology
As computer technology grows it seems almost as if computers run themselves however, we know this is not actually the case. A computer is a machine that manipulates data according to a list of instructions that are entered by a human, at some point.
Modern computers are based on tiny integrated circuits and are millions to billions of times more capable.
When I was growing up computers were only for business people. They were as large as a big room and used a ton of power. But now days with nano technology the storage of information has become much smaller.
