     “Computer technology is altering the form, nature, and future of the American

economy.”(McConnell, 3)

     Computers of today has grown and evolved with time. From the very first ENIAC

computer to the Pentium Processors of today, computers have come a long way.

“ENIAC was as big as a boxcar, as complicated as an airplane and as costly as the Ritz.

Microchips would soon cost as little as five dollars and could be packed a million to a

boxcar for delivery to anywhere, to anybody.”(Life, 32)  Who best to create this type of

technology is none other than the engineers of this world. These are the ones that are

patient enough, creative enough and articulate enough to learn the ways of the chip.

(Alpert, 87) We have always viewed engineers as nerds and geekazoids who never had a

date in high school, college or ever in their life. Now, they are the ones that are making

this world better for us to live in. Engineering is a way of expressing ones creativeness.

Such as in the University of Massachusetts, Engineers there are finding ways to make

computers nicer when frustration is detected.(Scientific American, 35) “Remember that

pudgy kid in the eight grade who likes to concoct bombs in his mothers kitchen? Now
