Computer speeds and graphics have progressed significantly over time. CPU speeds from Intel and AMD have increased through competition, starting in the 1990s at MHz levels and increasing each year. Early computer graphics used light pens to draw, while today we have powerful CAD programs and 3D modeling like the iconic Utah Teapot, which has been a symbol of 3D editing since 1975.

1. Computer History This is a brief presentation on computer speeds and how the progressed over time. The main topics with be CPU speed, and graphics

2. CPU History There are two major suppliers of CPU in today computer market. Intel and AMD are in a never ending battle for better performance

3. Computer Graphics History Computer graphics have come a long way from the original MS-DOS that was first created. The light pen was one of the first ways to draw computer graphics. The pen used light to figure out where the cursor should be placed
