Hewlett-Packard in a garage in Palo Alto, California. It was mostly used in military/government and universities/science lab. It took 40+ years for the first personal computer to be created by IBM (1981). The first personal computer (PC) ran on a 4.77 Mhz Intel 8088 microprocessor [1]. After that computer world has advanced leap and bound, hardware as well as software. Some of the laptops today run on a 4.0 Ghz (almost 1000 times more powerful). According to US census, in 2012, 80% of all house hold had

move to push 10Gb/s through USB connections is believed to have been a response to the threat of Thunderbolt technology developed by Apple and Intel. First seen on Apple's own products, and now trickling out into the mainstream PC world, Thunderbolt offered 10Gb/s - but shortly after the USB Promoter Group announced that USB would match that speed, Intel announced the Falcon Ridge controller which doubles Thunderbolt's throughput to 20Gb/s. In both cases, the peak performance is theoretical: actual

the brain of all computers and many household and electronic devices. Multiple microprocessors, working together, are the "hearts" of datacenters, super-computers, communications products, and other digital devices. The first microprocessor was the Intel 4004, introduced in 1971. The 4004 was not very powerful; it was primarily used to perform simple mathematical operations in a calculator called “Busicom.” Just like microwaves or telephones, devices with microprocessors have become so integrated into
