| Abstract: | In the 1940s, the first research computers worked on numeric data. A few years later, the UNIVAC, was designed for both numeric and alphanumeric data. Over time, technology advances have made other data types economically feasible - text, images, sound, and video. Evolution of data types is also occurring on networks. A few years ago, most internet users had terminals or small personal computers emulating terminals and 9.6Kb/s modems, so they were limited to working with text, numbers and small binary files. |
