Laptops the best

Many things have been done to improve the Internet. Every year something new has been created that involves the internet, but what had the most impact before 1994, in my opinion had to be Adam Osborne's portable computer.



In 1981, Adam Osborne introduced the first portable computer which was names the Osborne 1. The computer weighed 23.5 pounds and cost $1,795, and had very comparable features with other manufacturers. the computer ran on the CP/M operating system and had a full keyboard.

Yes i know you are wondering what does a portable computer have anything to do with the Internet? Well computers are the only way for us to even use the internet. Without computers there would not be any internet. And Osborne's portable computer lead the way for improvement to be made.


In 1983 Manuel (Manny) Fernandez the founder of Gavilan SC, was the first ever to create and name it the "Laptop." The first laptop was huge and had a tiny screen. The screen fold shuts over the keyboard, and the laptop was equipped with a floppy disk drive and used MS-DCS operating system.

Could you imagine that every time you had to use the computer or check something online that you would have to go to the library, or back to your house, or even go back to your office at your job. That would be crazy, and very annoying. So instead of running somewhere to get on a computer, now you can just pull out your laptop and use the internet whenever or where ever you are.


Everyone from business corporations, to college students, professors, the army, even kids in Africa have benefited from using the internet on laptops. All the soldiers in Iraq can use there laptops to get on the internet or email there friends and family. You can walk anywhere in University at Buffalo and i guarantee that you will see someone somewhere, sitting down and getting on the internet through there laptop.


As the years went by, Laptops have improved greatly. You can get on the interent in a matter of seconds. There are so many different features and ways that you can use the internet on a laptop, such as email, aim, AOL, Google, and plenty more. They also have so many different size laptops so can be anywhere and use the internet comfortably. People can have laptops in there car to use the internet or even bring there laptop on a plane. If everyone had to use a computer to get online then I don't think the internet and so many sites on the internet would be as popular as they are now. Imagine every college student that doesn't have a computer on there dorms having to wait on a line at the school library just to get on the internet. That's not cool at all. Laptops gives everyone and easier and faster way to get on the internet. And as we continue to go into the future, laptops will just improve its internet access every year.

About the One N Only Ernest

Having fun at Coney Island

Since this blog will not be graded, I'm gonna write how i normally write.

Well i would like to start off by introducing myself, my name is Ernest aka DimplezzZ, but only woman can call me DimplezzZ. Definitely not guys because that just sounds gay. I'm 20 years old, and I'm from Brooklyn N.Y., a lot of people think Brooklyn is all about violence and drugs, but i think its a great place to live. It's fun, and theres always something to do. Not like boring buffalo. Only thing buffalo has is beer and cold weather, and I don't like neither Anyway I have 3 older sisters, 2 of them are currently attending college, and they all work. My father died when i was 2 years old, so my mama took care of my sisters and I our whole life, and did a great job at it. I love my mama to death, not just for being a great mom, but also being a great friend. Back to myself, I graduated from South Shore high school in 2004, then i decided to go to a two-year college to get my grades up. I attended to Erie Community College, and played football there for a year and a half, then transferred to UB 2 semesters ago. Getting off the school subject, I love to go clubbing and partying in NYC, Manhattan is a great club spot. A lot of gorgeous woman. I like to also chill with my family and friends, go bowling, play pool, go to the beach, travel to other states, Sleep, eat and love to go to the movies and just stay home and watch some DVDs. Besides going to UB, i work at Abercrombie and Fitch in Manhattan, so If anyone shops at AnF and needs a discount, i can get it for you. But only at the Manhattan AnF on 5th avenue.

There are so many things i would like to accomplish in life, but the main one is trying to make it to the NFL, letting my mama and grandmama see me play on TV, wow that would be great. Yea i know its a long shot, and UB haven't had a good season in forever, but its just my goal and my dream. Everyone is aloud to have dreams, but if God doesn't bless me with that then I am definitely going to play European or Canadian football for about 3-5 years. Also I am going to get my masters in communication and minor in marketing. I'm not really set on what i wanna do with my degree, but I would like to do some advertising for a magazine company, its seems fun and interesting. No matter what i decide to do, I'm gonna definitely open up a restaurant for my mom, she loves to cook. I just want my mama and my entire family to be happy. I wanna get them everything they need. That's why I'm praying that the football works out, its an easy way out, and a quick way to get my family everything they need. Besides the career, I would like to have a big family, a beautiful loving wife, 5 kids, 3 boys and 2 girls. And hopefully i can raise them as good as my mother raised me.

So far I like this class, it seems interesting and the professor seems real cool and laid back. I'm hoping he stays cool for the entire semesters, because some professors are nice in the begin then turn out to be an a**hole in the end. But I'm hoping this class can have an impact on my future and maybe help me decide what I really wanna do in life.

We have 3 months left Professor, so lets make the best of it, Hope the class is great, and to all the students keep PIMPIN, Holllllllllllllllllla
