Special Post...to honor...Yuri Gagarin...a Russian Hero that improved life for everyone..
..........The Russian who was first into space..& he started the ........."Space Race"
The race into space encouraged the building of smaller computers..smaller and even smaller...!!
And Parts became even smaller, and even more smaller, and cheaper..and more cheaper.!...Therefore,
there are more components in the computer you are using now, then those large ones that took up
a full room in the 60s and 70s..(YES, I REMEMBER..BECAUSE I LIVED THROUGH THE 70S & WATCHED STAR TREK,
AND THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER OWN A COMPUTER BACK THEN...NEVER NEVER AND NEVER)
Why make them smaller...So you could go further in outer space and eventually in early 70s, the computers
helped humans to land on the moon. ..............
...Therefore, Yuri Gagarin helped to encourage the downsizing of computers that we are using right now.
..The ...Space Race helped the world get to a point where computers are used for everything and they have
made life safer in many ways. (Like the computers in cars that warn you..or the computers in hospitals that
make you better and keep track of you & your medicines.) The use of computers is everywhere.
........................................this one is VERY IMPORTANT!!......................................................
......................................SO ....think about it..........................................
..The space race and the race to get smaller computers helped us to live better and longer....
.............................AND...HELPED US TO COMMUNICATE BETTER...!!!!
..........................JUST LIKE WE ARE DOING RIGHT NOW...................so...
............SO YURI GAGARIN IS A ...HERO..TO BE APPLAUDED BY THE ENTIRE WORLD..
..............HE HELPED TO CHANGE THE WORLD FOR THE BETTER......
