Computer museum
I think this museum is really cool and very interesting to see a the evolution of computers and the spaces they inhabited for the last eightyish years. The parts I enjoyed about the National Museum of Computing is seeing all the old computers on display and see who created them. The old computers look bulky and I know for a fact they don't really have a lot of memory and need a lot of power which makes them both expensive and useless. I like the wall that breaks down the component of a somewhat modern computer. The DEC PDP8 is a bulky and weird looking computer that does not look anything like a modern computer, It has the appearance of being an old computer tower that holds the CPU and Memory. I never really knew that the old computers had a keyboard attacked to the screen which makes it look like a lap top. The old lap tops I remember being bulky but they looks really bulky like a large brick which is interesting. The reason its interesting is because if you take a moment you realize that as technology improves the smaller the computer we can get like at some point we will get wrist mounted computers just like in a game called fallout. I know the apple watch exist but its limited in what can do at them moment nothing like the iPhone which has gotten slimmer and smaller through the years. I can not wait to see some of the devices I used to use in the museum on display, the day when that happens I hope we as a species have moved on and improve as a species. I think everyone should take a look at this museum either in person or online.
