Personal Computer (a.k.a. "PC")
Jun 10, 2009 21:13
Nearly every PC sold today (including the Macintosh) leverages designs introduced with the IBM 5150 PC, released by IBM (with technology from Microsoft and Intel) in 1981.
The IBM PC was inspired by microcomputer designs of the 1970s, each combining a computer display terminal with a microprocessor and local storage.
Nearly every personal computing device sold today still retains this same 30+ year old design ... display, keyboard, processor and local storage.
