Computers were introduced in schools during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Early models, like the Apple II and the Commodore PET, began to appear in classrooms, promoting computer literacy among students. By the mid-1980s, many schools started incorporating computer education into their curricula, recognizing the importance of technology in modern education. The trend continued to grow rapidly throughout the 1990s and into the 2000s as technology became more accessible.
The first iPhone was invented in the United States. Apple Inc., an American technology company, introduced the iPhone on January 9, 2007, during a keynote address by Steve Jobs. The device was subsequently released to the public on June 29, 2007.

The same way they changed computers in the 1960s when they were first introduced: computers got smaller, faster, less expensive, used less power, they could now be used in more places, by a wider variety of people, and for a wider range of applications. The same thing will continue well into the foreseeable future.microchips were introduced in the 1960smicroprocessor chips were introduced in the 1970simproved microprocessor chips were introduced in the 1980s, permitting business PCs and simple game computers for the homeimproved microprocessor chips were introduced in the 1990s, permitting powerful business PCs and practical home PCsspecialized graphics microprocessors and multi-core microprocessors were introduced after 2000, permitting offloading of highly compute intensive operations from the main CPU and permitting true multiprocessing in small affordable machines, effectively providing supercomputer like performance to the average everyday user.etc.
Technology is always changing dramatically. During WW2, many new things were invented for the war effort, so the in the 1950s there was more advanced technology than before the war. Such as televisions being introduced into homes, and the use of plastic becoming more popular.
