We are a technological civilisation and culture. Technology has been with humans from the first use of a stone as a tool and it is impossible to separate technology from our life now. This tool use has since developed to an advanced state, where our human culture is dependent upon the technology that surrounds it. In 1888, an American inventor, Herman Hollerith, developed the first successful computer, using punched cards and electricity. This was the first step in automated data processing. In 1951, the first commercially available computer was introduced. By the late 1960’s, many large companies were using computers. Then in 1975, personal computers were finally introduced. Today we cannot function without them!
