    The first computer was invented by Charles Babbage but was not built until 1991. Alan Turing invented what we know as computer science, ENIAC was invented in 1945 and was the first electronic general-purpose digital computer, and it was ginormous, it filled an entire room. Then in 1981, the world's first laptop was invented, Epson HX-20. Barfield, R. (2020, September 3). Who invented computers?: Bricsys blog. Bricsys.

  • No keyboards

    No keyboards
    I think that in the near future all computers will have some sort of digital keyboard that is another screen that will be projected in front of the computer and we will no longer have actual keyboards for anything. I also think that phones are just going to be an invisible screen that is translucent and will be able to be a projector at any point that we want them to be.

  • Computers that read our mind

    Computers that read our mind
    I think that 100 years from now we will have computers that all we will have to do is hold out hands on the computer and it will pick up on what we are thinking and will be able to either look something up that we are thinking or it will be able to type up a paper for us by reading what our minds are thinking about. It will be able to figure out what punctuation needs to be put into a sentence without us having to tell it, and it will be able to cite sources for us. We won't have to do anything.
