The older I am, the larger I have become.
Over time I have been very easy to forget things because I don’t develop enough memory.
I was able to share my knowledge with others through the World Wide Web in the early 1960s.T or F QuestionsFFFTThe information was stored in tubes, then on transistors and later on the chips.I was given a family connected by a network.The size has no nothing to do with the age.My memory became so large, like an elephant, that I never forget anything I have been told!.Scanning: Para3 What are the new applications of the computer?
