Computers.lt project
The World’s history of digital computers counts less than 100 years, however during this relatively short period of time computer technology evolved dramatically and became essential for mankind existence.
From the early predictions, such as IBM’s chairman and CEO Thomas J. Watson stating, "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers…" it grew to billions of various types, sizes and purposes of computers, which exist today and continues to evolve further.
From the very beginning of computer era, United States of America was and still is leading in the development of computer technologies, however not many know that Lithuania – a small country in Europe near the Baltic Sea – was one of few locations in the World having microchip design and manufacturing knowledge and facilities.
Here at Computers.lt you'll find the key facts and information about Lithuania’s and World’s computer history as well as insights and predictions of what the future could bring in the evolution of computer technology.
