Miss Florence,
What an interesting new,I never thought that the computer had 70 year, i agree with ambar for me the computer had less years.It is incredible how the computer had evoluced, and I don't even imagene how do people does them. For me this invention should be very important to the word because now a days we do almost everything with them.
See you on Thursday

Hi Miss Florence!
70 YEARS!!!!!!WOOOW!!! Impressive!!I had no idea, nor I imagined that the invention already had that amount of years!
But it seems, that, as Ambar said, with this blog you learn more each day!
I admit, that now in these days is very difficult to do things without the computer, I think that the computer, (and I must add the telephone), is one of the best inventions!
So, if it has 70 years already, in 2041 it will have a century!

I was investigating, and the first cellphone, that was big, and expensive was made 38 years ago. The smaller ones were made 28 years ago, and they were more economic.
I discovered a huge difference of years, and I've been searching, and the computer was invented much before TV. My conclusiion was: computer is very old, older than many other famous inventions!!!
See you on Thursday, hope you enjoy your short holidays!
