The Evolution of Computer Science (in a Nutshell)

I’ll be discussing The Evolution of Computer Science in a nutshell in this article or post or whatever you’d like to call it.

Since we all know that computer history is very ancient, I don’t even know, to be frank, what I’m talking about right now. So let’s not waste any more time and get right on the main content.

The Evolution of Computer Science (in a Nutshell)

It all started back in 1703 when Gottfried Leibniz introduces the binary system. Oh, let just not dive into details.
