How did the computer make the transition to everyday technology

The computer actually evolved itself over decades, as we as a socialistic society became technologically advanced in our work, which made things work smoother and more quickly, and provided us loads of information.  As our corporations started using more and more technology, it was a natural evolution for our society to want to be able to have technology available to use in our own homes as well.


As technologists began to create computers the size of rooms, and began to use punch cards to store information, this technology became so intriguing that more technologists had to step forward to make computers smaller, better and less costly than in the 1980's.  As this evolution progressed, the next step would be to be able to devise a computer that each and everyone of us could use and afford.  This is how the computer made the transition form workplace to  us being able to access most of our knowledge from our own computers, in our own homes.
