... my story of COMPUTERS:
First, man counted on his fingers.
Then, he counted by making marks on sticks.
Then, he counted by making marks on paper.
Then, he counted by making gears that counted.
Then, he counted by making lights stand for numbers.
Then, he counted by making symbols stand for numbers.
Then, he counted by making ONEs and NAUGHTS (ZEROS) stand for numbers.
Then, he counted by making electrons stand for numbers.
Finally, he became too lazy and let the COMPUTERS do his counting for him.
