Forty Years of the PC
Forty years ago today, the personal computer was unveiled. Concepts such as the mouse, the ability to cut and paste, hypertext and saving a file were introduced to the public in what is remembered as the 'mother of all demonstrations.' We look back on the event that introduced the public to modern personal and interactive computing, and discuss the evolution and future of the personal computer.
