Artificial Intelligence is a hot topic in the scientific field and is receiving enormous attention from the business industry.

THE IBM COMPANY
IBM is the largest computer company in the world, known as 'BIG BLUE'. It was incorporated on June 16, 1911, as the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company in a consolidation of three smaller companies that made punch-card tabulators and other office products. It was on February 14, 1924, when CTR's name was changed to International Machines Corporation or IBM.
The company's first large contract was to provide tabulating equipment for the tabulation and analysis of the 1890 US census.
SOME INTERESTING IBM PRODUCTS
FLOPPY DISK
Can you name a product that is produced by IBM? Well, for me, when I heard IBM, the first thing that would come into my mind is the floppy disk. Are you familiar with this product? Or, were you able to use it?

Based on some article I found online, there were 3 sizes of floppy disks that were introduced in the market. These were the 8-inch (203 mm) media, 5 1⁄4-inch (133 mm) and 3 1⁄2 inch (90 mm) sizes. I was able to use the 3 1⁄2 inch (90 mm) size.
IBM PERSONAL COMPUTER
Well, I am not sure if you were able to see or use the IBM Personal Computer Model 5150. This product was released in 1981. This was the first IBM PC, was based on a 4.77 MHz Intel 8088 microprocessor and used Microsoft´s MS-DOS operating system. The IBM Personal Computer was using basic software, MS-DOS, or Microsoft Disk Operating System. It was the first PC to gain widespread adoption by industry and the first to revolutionize the computing business.
