Rachael, IL | Build your own!
I love computers and technology. For my 15th birthday my family bought me the parts and I got to make my own PC! It's so much fun and a lot less expensive than buying a premaid desktop package. You can get parts from www.newegg.com (it's a really good website, although it may be cheaper to purchase the memory and hard drive from stores). I can write HTML and I even have a website.

Aslan, IA | Palm pilots...reply
Palm Pilots. Amazing things. I think palm pilots are a bit like computer keys. I'm pretty sure they have little presure sensors or the senors that computers and music keyboards have. Does that answer your question?

April, 10, VT | Palm pilots
How do palm pilots work? I mean, how do they know where you touched on the screen?

Ruben, TX | Palm pilots
Basically, how do palm pilots work?

Ummm...I love Mac computers. They are so cool. People hate them, but love them. They are simple, have cool designs, and work wonders. I have a Centris 650 and just bought a MAC G4 with flat screen. It came with itunes 2 and imovie 2. Anyone else love Apple Computers?

Olivia, 11, CA | Who invented the computer?
who's the person who invent the computer?

DragonflyTV | Who invented the computer?
Charles Babbage invented a machine to do math problems in 1834, but that's not quite the computer we know of. In 1942, John Atanasoff and Clifford Berry invented a vacuum tube computer to do math problems. Most historians consider 1946 as the year of the first electronic digital computer. It was called the ENIAC, and it was built at Harvard University by John Eckert and John Mauchly. But this computer wouldn't fit on your desk... it was as big as a room!

Alec, 8, TX | Computers
