the desktop computer as an established commodity in the minds of the business

Today, the term PC is widely used to refer to all those machines
(from various manufacturers) whose design has evolved from IBM’s initial desktop
computer, most of which continue to be marketed with software from Microsoft.
At times, however, the term PC is used interchangeably with the generic terms
desktop or laptop.
As the twentieth century drew to a close, the ability to connect individual
computers in a world-wide system called the Internet was revolutionizing communication.
In this context, Tim Berners-Lee (a British scientist) proposed a system
by which documents stored on computers throughout the Internet could be
linked together producing a maze of linked information called the World Wide
Web (often shortened to “Web”). To make the information on the Web accessible,
software systems, called search engines, were developed to “sift through” the
Web, “categorize” their findings, and then use the results to assist users researching
particular topics. Major players in this field are Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft.
These companies continue to expand their Web-related activities, often in directions
that challenge our traditional way of thinking.
At the same time that desktop and laptop computers were being accepted and
used in homes, the miniaturization of computing machines continued. Today,
tiny computers are embedded within a wide variety of electronic appliances and
devices. Automobiles may now contain dozens of small computers running Global
Positioning Systems (GPS), monitoring the function of the engine, and providing
