Name Your PC Day

History

The holiday was created by an unknown person, but he definitely sat at the computer for a long time, so he decided to give it a special name. It is believed that the first computing device was created in the 1600s – a calculator. In the 1970s, the development of microprocessors took place: this allowed goods to be sold to the general public. True, initially they were acquired by lovers of technology, and ordinary people bypassed.

Now we cannot imagine one day without a computer. Habitual affairs will acquire a completely different perspective, enterprises will suffer. This is not to mention that you will not be able to play the usual shooter on the big screen. Better not to think about it!

How to celebrate

Take the device to a service center and clean your mouth with dust, follow the recommendations of the masters. Buy a new PC if the old one has problems and celebrate the date with your friends.
