Today, I know they make the ‘impossible possible’ – IBM’s Watson being the best example. Currently, I am the Secretary of my school’s Computer Club, and hold events where I invite eminent computer geeks. In the last Speaker Series my guests were Microsoft’s Mr. Pradeep Jhunjhunwala, and Mr. Rohit Kumar, from Chapter

What would life be without the long, not so easy history of computers development in the last few decades? In the ‘50s, IBM made new products that started the work of computers to begin to rise. Examples, in 1953, IBM introduces the 701 to the public. It was IBM's first electric computer and first mass-produced one. Also; in 1956 the IBM 305 RAMAC was released. It was the first computer to be shipped with a hard drive. The hard was capable of storing 5 million characters. In the ‘60s, most computer
