In which year was the PC voted "The Machine of the Year's by the American Time magazine?
The correct option is A 1983
In 1983 was the PC voted "The Machine of the
Year's by the American Time magazine.
At the time, I was a college freshman and computer
nerd. And that 1983 issue was the one in which the magazine made one of its
most famous picks, by naming the Personal Computer as its first Machine of the
Year.
The PC remains TIME’s first and only Machine of the
Year — the only man-made object to be named the year’s top newsmaker. It
wouldn’t stun me if it retains that distinction forever. I like to think,
though, that there’s at least some chance that we’ll revive the idea someday —
maybe for some device which doesn’t even exist today. But it would have to be
an awfully important gadget to matter as much as the PC mattered 30 years ago.
