167489 2003-08-13 09:21:00 Hi Guys!

I have a research assignment to do, and I was wondering if I could talk to someone over something like MSN Messenger or something...

It's due on Friday as well, and all I need is an interview done!

Or else... maybe someone could reply and tell me what they know?

Here are my key questions:

1. How have computers changed from when it was invented, and what will people expect in the future?

2. What are the new things that have been added to computers, from when it was first invented, to make them more advanced, interesting and entertaining?

3. Who invented the computer, when and how was it made for? What was it used for when it was first invented?

Those questions are very very easy for anyone that has studied computer history before... and i'm sure someone can help!

I hope to hear from you soon!

Thanks in advance!

This Thread (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) may help.

167492 2003-08-13 09:41:00 AnsonM,

You might want to look at History of Computers (www.hitmill.com) for a start-off point...

Cheers, babe.

167494 2003-08-13 10:05:00 You have left it a bit late haven't you Anson?

Starting Wedneday night for a Friday deadline, and wanting a face to face or phone interview.

I sincerely hope someone can help you but I don't fancy your chances at this late stage. Look at the links posted and use them to help you structure some tightly focused questions, that may get you to the finish line a little faster.

Good luck

167496 2003-08-14 02:48:00 Wonders how often this Research Assignment is done...

*Puts Super Computer 486DX-100 with 1MB RAM to work out the next time someone will ask this question. By the time it finishes working that equation I believe that's when.

Wonders if people still read books these days...

Still wondering...
