HISTORY OF COMPUTERS

Activity # 2

Direction: Read each question carefully and provide your best answer and interpretation
of the question.

1. If you were to go back in the computer history timeline, what are the best
parts of invention? Support your answers.

-I really amaze how the inventors invent those machines or technology. So, for
me the best inventions of computer history are they; World Wide Web (1990): The
World Wide Web (WWW), created by Tim Berners-Lee, popularized the idea of
hypertext and made the internet usable by non-technical users. A platform for
information sharing, e-commerce, social contact, and much more, the web changed the
internet from being purely an academic and scientific instrument, influencing modern
culture. Because they helped pave the path for the advancement of computing
technology, changed a number of industries, and altered how we live and work, these
discoveries rank among the best in computer history. They show the significant influence
that new concepts and technical developments may have on society as they continue to
affect and shape our environment. ARPANET (1969): The United States built the
ARPANET. The earliest version of the internet was developed by the Department of
Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). By tying together research
institutes and enabling the sharing of resources and information, it established the
groundwork for computer networking. The ARPANET developed into the internet,
changing how people interact, conduct business, and access information on a worldwide
scale.

2. What would be the world’s greatest achievements and fears with these kinds
of innovations?

-There are lots of achievements and fears when it comes to the innovations of
technology here are they achievements and fears;

Achievements:

Information Access: The World Wide Web has made information more widely
available. Anyone with an internet connection may now access massive volumes of
knowledge, empowering people and advancing learning and research.

Medical Advances: Medical research, diagnosis, and treatment have all been
transformed by computers. Medical imaging, genetic testing, and telemedicine are
examples of innovations that have improved patient care, diagnosis precision, and
treatment outcomes.

Fears:

Privacy Concerns: Privacy issues are raised by the extensive gathering and use of
personal information. Personal security and civil freedoms are significantly at risk from
data breaches, identity theft, and spying.

Environmental Impact: Technology use and production contribute to environmental


problems like energy use and e-waste. To reduce these issues, energy-efficient
technologies and sustainable practices are crucial.

3. What would be your voice in the adaptation of the constant evolution of


information and communication technology?

-I am a linguistic model for artificial intelligence, not a person without a


voice. However, I can shed light on some of the issues and suggestions that
professionals and decision-makers frequently debate in relation to the ongoing
evolution of information and communication technology (ICT). Adaptive
Education, it is essential to make sure that educational systems keep up with the
rapid evolution of ICT. To provide people the skills they need to successfully
navigate and contribute to the digital landscape, continuous learning and digital
literacy programs should be incorporated into formal schooling. Collaboration,
innovation, and accessibility can all be fostered through promoting open-source
software and open standards. Open access to research and data can hasten societal
and scientific advancement.

Maintaining a balance between innovation and good governance is crucial


for managing the ICT industry's ongoing transformation. In order to ensure that
the advantages of technology are maximized while reducing its risks and
detrimental effects, resolving the difficulties connected with it requires a multi-
stakeholder strategy encompassing governments, industry, academia, and civil
society.
