Computing

At first it was IBM yes they were to big and had to large of a market share. In the office machine business They were the Kings When they went to California to get a software company to write them a operating system. The guy was out flying his plane so did they wait for him to land and talk business hell no. They left and went North to see this young man Bill Gates to see if he could write a operating system for their New line of personal computers. And his company wrote MSDOS and WINDOWS . And then become one of the Riches men in the world. And in doing so basically took over the software business. With his competitive nature and drive almost to the point of becoming a tyrant. Forcing a lot of the smaller software companies out of business. Now comes the Internet with companies like Amazon  selling you stuff. Ebay you selling stuff and buying stuff. These companies make lots of money. For awhile then it tapers off. Now here comes Google a search engine that profiles you to take you where you want to go faster than ever before. There were a lot of search engines out there but Google did it a little better than the rest. And in so doing got the market share of searches now this seems meaningless on the surface but in reality money goes where the people are especially advertising money so now Google is making tons of money..So to try and catch up Microsoft puts together Bing but is to late that ship has already sailed. Google is the search engine period... Now comes social media yes My Space, Facebook, Twitter. Now you can hook back up with all those people you lost touch with during your life. Like they were really important to you..NOT If they were you would not have lost touch with them. Or lets meet new people from all over the world. Like you are ever going to have the money to go and see these people.... Please..  Oh I almost forgot Dell and Gateway and Compaq and HP and a host of other manufacturing companies making the little box that makes you think the world is smaller. And of course Apple. This is a brief history of computing. Or just One Mans Opinion .....
