The term "PC," short for "personal computer," gained popularity in the early 1980s, largely due to IBM's introduction of the IBM PC in 1981. While the concept of a personal computer existed before IBM's model, the widespread adoption of the term can be attributed to IBM's marketing efforts, which helped define and standardize the category of personal computing for consumers. The term itself was in use prior to IBM's launch, but their product solidified its common usage.
