Research the evolution of the computer from its earliest origins in the decade of the 1930’s. Collect information to create a PP presentation to be viewed by many.

Determine how you will include as much as you can into those 20 slides. Before ‘turning in,’ you must have had it evaluated by 2 peers. This means they check your presentation for the items below. If they agree that you have completed these steps for the decade, add their names to a slide at the end of that decade to show completion. Repeat this for each decade.
This presentation will include the following:
