  • Microsoft launch

    Microsoft is a software company that has been aroung for over 40 years. Microsoft is the developer and owner of: Windows, excel, word and many more things that started the evoloution of computers. They even own minecraft! Windows is the most used driver for computers and it is probably what they're most known for, they even tapped in on the market of email. During 2012 and although the service isn't used as much as it used to be doesn't make it unimpressive.

  • Apple 2 launch

    You might ask why I didn't write about the apple 1. This is because it was a barely functioning computer which was very limited. However the apple 2 had a screen that it came with as well as color on the screen. It was truly a huge step forward. Steve wozniak was inspired by the technology that atari used to make their color screens at the time. This is what he used to make the color screens of the apple 2.

  • facebook launch

    Facebook was like the father of current social media. It was founded by mark zuckerberg. And the sevice put quite simply blew up, everyone was using it. You could have pictures of yourself and your friends and you would compete with your friends about who had the most facebook friends.

  • Google launch

    Google is the most used search browser, and obviously because of that it is very famous. You might think that it was founded earlier, but no in fact it is fairly recent. It was founded by larry page and at the time of it being created it was fairly small as you would think as well as it not having any ads on it. Larry developed googles most known search algorithm pagerank. He even helped develop google earth and google maps.

  • Iphone launch

    When the iphone was released no one had ever heard of a smartphone. Steve jobs changed this, it was a phone but not only could you take calls and text you could even: take pictures, listen to music, browse the internet, watch movies and even play games. This was like a computer phone hybrid and it was not a wonder that it took off. Everyone had one of these and it was something that shaped the future of all phones.
