How have computers changed over time? This resource lets students create a folded document and describe in words and pictures the changes that have taken effect over a period of time. This resource can be used as part of technology or history curriculums. When students have an understanding of how computing has changed over time it helps give context to todays computer systems. It also provides means to project future technology trends. An awareness of computer history can also reinforce concepts that have been common throughout, such as the binary system for storing and working with data and the computer as a processing device with input and output requirements. This worksheet has been designed to be printed back to back and folded as a booklet that can be stuck into a work book. Students can design the cover and create images and text to describe the unique features of a computer from the past and a computer of the present day.
