👉 Hey Computing refers to the period from the late 1960s to the mid-1990s when personal computing began to take shape and gain widespread popularity. This era marked a significant shift from large, centralized mainframe computers used by businesses and governments to smaller, more accessible machines that could run on personal computers, laptops, and even portable devices. The development of microprocessors, the invention of the graphical user interface (GUI), and the introduction of operating systems like Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS played pivotal roles. This period also saw the rise of home computing, software development, and the beginning of the internet's commercialization, laying the groundwork for the digital revolution that followed.
