HOME COMPUTERS AS A HOBBY
Before the era of home computers, computers were expensive and large devices intended for industrial use, which were seen in magazines and science fiction television series. But with the advent of home computers, computers arrived directly into people's homes, offering them the opportunity to learn about programming, gaming, and digital creativity. Despite their humble beginnings, they are the foundation of modern society. Home computers meant that the use and programming of computers moved from the vaults of banks and universities to devices in every home.
