The past causes the present, and so the future….
Why do we save old Computers?
Computer History helps us understand change and how the society we live in came to be.
Three reasons to save old computers and study Computer History:
We learn from the past! By studying computers of the past, you will learn more about what makes new computers work the way they do.
History is the study of change and saving old computers allows us to understand change. The world is constantly changing, so understanding the role of change in society helps you interpret the world in its current state. Few things in the modern world change as quickly as computer technology.
Saving old computers allows us to read information in its original format and share past stories saved in different electronic formats.
