instantaneous communication via telephone, radio and television (Alonso, 1996). Transistors; smaller, more energy efficient and more reliable than their predecessor the electron tube, paved the way for chips - which
is the heart of the computer (Alonso, 1996). The rise in computer technology has been phenomenal. In the fifties it was literally warehoused and today the proliferation of the personal
