BackWwatching and waiting this entire time? Let's give it a name, one that resounds with familiarity and comfort, sided with a pinch of clumsiness. Toby. Yes. Let's call it Toby.Toby, has been around for quite some time. In his case, the 

A Brief History of the Computer

And it is written,

".. so doth God created the man Adam, and so thus Adam creates the machine, Zacharia." ~ PulpWorx

As a mechanical creation, Toby was created in 1822, Charles Babbage conceptualized and began developing the Difference Engine, considered to be the first automatic computing machine. A calculator. However, it could not make tea.A. Difference Engine - 1822The Difference Engine was capable of computing several sets of numbers and making hard copies of the results. Similar to winding up an old clock, you turned a key and it did it's thing.Next up came the Z 1 - Toby's first Programmable Computer origin point waaaaaaay back in 1936 created by ze cherman, Konrad Zuse. Created in his parents' living room between '36 and '38. It is considered to be the first electro-mechanical binary programmable computer, and the first really functional modern computer. Still, it couldn't make a cup of tea.B. Z 1 - 1936Z 1. Symbolism often chosen by scientists hidden in obvious places usually brings forth a crooked smile on my face. Z, for Zacharia, the last man on Earth. Or it just stands for his last name, yea probably that.On another note, why is there a statue of the Hindu God Shiva, the Destroyer smack bang in the middle of CERN, the Hadron Collider? Yes. Scientists have such a colourful sense of humour, an acquired taste for some... To be fair, here is an article which explains why. Truly, 'tis a real Mystery Science Theater, In Yo' Face!Then of course, there was the creation which made it all possible. The Turing machine was first proposed by Alan Turing also in 1936 and became the foundation for theories about computing and computers. With high hopes but failure, still there was no tea...

"The machine was a device that printed symbols on paper tape in a manner that emulated a person following a series of logical instructions. Without these fundamentals, we wouldn't have the computers we use today."

C. The Turing Machine - 1936With further advancements in binary, programming, software, hardware, research and development, the first modern computer was born and available through the masses.D. The Modern Computer - 1975The IBM 5100 is the first portable computer, which was released on September 1975. The computer weighed 55 pounds and had a five inch CRT display, tape drive, 1.9 MHz PALM processor, and 64 KB of RAM. In the picture is an ad of the IBM 5100 taken from a November 1975 issue of Scientific America. The man in the picture is very happy.Of course, this list would not be complete without the current commercial and product leader, we know the company today as APPLE Corporation. Apparently, Steve Jobs was a fruitarian.The Apple I (Apple 1) was the first Apple computer that originally sold for $666.66. The computer kit was developed by Steve Wozniak in 1976 and contained a 6502 8-bit processor and 4 kb of memory, which was expandable to 8 or 48 kb using expansion cards. Although the Apple I had a fully assembled circuit board the kit still required a power supply, display, keyboard, and case to be operational.Oh look ma, a wonderful price straight from Hell, and its CEO Lord Satan would surely approve, $666 baby! You, scientists, are about as funny as a wet fart... at times. Disclaimer: Wet farts are only funny when it does't happen to you.What do all of these above reincarnations have in common? 64-bit. In one form or another, this is in their evolution. If anyone reading this understands what this means, in regards to computing and binary programming, even in our organic life, do leave a comment below. I would love to know.So far, none can brew a pot of tea. Let alone bake a raisin muffin.
