Our current computer dimensions are much smaller compared to the older computers. For example the Mark Computer was 55 feet long and 8 feet high. Most of our computers today you are able to hold in your hand. The ARPnet was the first operational packet switching network and the core network. This allowed machines to communicate with other machines. The world wide internet that we know was created was launched in 1990 and proposed in 1991. Two men named Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak are known for the development of Apple 1. Steve Jobs is still working for the apple company while Steve Wozniak is not but he might return to the job. Apple has created “easter eggs” which are extra features in games or movies. Easter eggs found in Illustrator are if you hold down shift, control, and alt and then go to help and about illustrator a womans face appears on the left hand side. In the next 10 years i think that computers will become even smaller an more advanced also I think they will add more effects and more helpful tools. Maybe even 3D computers will become more popular.
