The History of Software (from Capterra)

history

We spend most of our days using computers at work, smartphones when we're out and about, and tablets and PCs at home. Technology, especially software, has become such an integral part of both work and daily life, it's hard to remember a world without it. In fact, finding a world without computers might be harder than you think; they have been around now for decades. Software has made the impossible possible, and the laborious and tedious, fast and easy.

Capterra has put together a great timeline that illustrates some of the major milestones in computing. Many of the developers here at Inflectra remember nostalgically when you "dreamed" of a 10MB hard disk or when 64KB of RAM seemed almost decadent!
