Computers As Small As Index Cards!?

Technology is constantly changing. An article in the New York Times discusses the newest computer, which weighs in at only fourteen ounces. This portable, mini PC can also be connected to a wireless keyboard of normal size. The small screen and compact size is ideal for constant travelers and people who just do not have a lot of room to store a computer. These computers do many of the same tasks as any normal sized computer, such as playing movies, but are limited in activity because of the screen size. With time this piece of technology can only advance into a smaller, better computer.

So now there are tiny computers, but at one time a person could walk inside of a computer. The first computer was invented by Konrad Zuse between 1935-1938. Zuse was a construction engineer for the Henschel Aircraft Company in Berlin, Germany at the beginning of W.W. II. He created the first fully functional computer in 1941, which was called Z3. The computer was so large that someone would have to walk inside of it to fix any problems. Zuse would also use old movie film to store data and information for Z3. Yes, the computer was that big.
