The laptop is one of the worlds greatest invention.  we use the computer to play games, research, and do whatever we need done.  There are some people who stay on computers because they think that they need it all the time.  If computers were to never be made again i think that some people would have a hard time doing the things they need to do, other than reading books.  the first laptop was created in April of 1976 and created by the company Xerox PARC.  This computer costed $50,000 when they first came out!  Just think now u wouldn't think anyone would ever use this type compared to the ones we gave now.  If apple and Sony and all those other companies keep making computers then who knows what they will come up with. I think the computers we have now are a lot better that what they had in the past.
