History of the PC

History of PC "If everyone is thinking about this, it is truly amazing how much progress has been made with this technology since the introduction of the first digital computer in 1946. This machine was released in 1949 EDSAC (Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Computer) built at Cambridge University Switch and control functions are handled by a vacuum tube.

The PC release is one of the most important moments in technology history, as PC-based computers rapidly swept the market and established standards that still exist on all Windows PCs. When my idea of ​​playing on IBM PC suddenly disappeared from the history book, I tried to ask myself to ask questions and find out. However, when IBM noticed and responded, this is very important as the PC revolution occurred. The PC that caused the PC revolution was Altair 8800 of MITS which began in 1975. Like IBM's PC, it has an Intel processor and Microsoft software and inspirational clones. Prior to the IBM PC, Apple II, TRS - 80, and other important PCs existed. If an IBM PC does not exist, the PC may move in different directions, but it does not disappear.

In 2008, Sid Meier cited IBM PC as one of the most important three innovations in the history of video games. IBM's PC compatible platform became a technically competitive game platform in 1984 using IBM's PC / AT. The original model of the original CGA graphic is limited to the business field of PC with attraction of only 4 colors 320 × 200 pixels (or its graphics can not compete with C64 or Apple II, 16 colors 160 × 100) I will. With the 64-color EGA (Enhanced Graphics Adapter) display standard, graphics will be close to the quality of common home computers such as Commodore 64. However, the sound function of AT is still limited to PC speakers, which is different from the built-in sound used in many home computers. Chip In addition, PC compatible systems are relatively expensive, so the popularity of games is greatly limited.
