Welcome to Houston Computer Museum!

The Houston Computer Museum

Being a privately owned company, The Houston Computer Museum is a company that humbly began in the year 2003 in Houston Texas. Since the conceptualization of the computer age, there has been a great deal of revolution with the computers, its uses and their physical appearances. Many of the computers in just the last decade are currently being deemed as obsolete. This means that they are rather thrown away into some garbage trash collection somewhere or recycled through some companies, some of which are located in the same city of Houston. The other interesting point to consider is that the companies which made such machines as the first generation computers are also obsolete. In essence, no replication of such machines can be done at the present age. Some of the companies were upgraded to suit the needs of their current market, in order to make business. It would therefore be of a huge loss for these companies to remanufacture outdated computers, or their subsequent processors.

Composition
This niche computer museum is located at the heart of Houston and has now survived for the last 7years. Through this time it keeps a record of average of two employees whose main duties include the general overseeing of the activities of the day. It has averaged revenue of around $80000 through time, which is a good one for a young and up coming museum. Its records give a clear description of what can be found in the museum, part of which includes 3000 different items, ranging from first, and second and third generation related machines, to their different components. The museum also covers some artifacts that date up to 3000BC, when some form of intelligence on information technology actually began. Through time, the company has managed to acquire a wide range of collection that will just make anyone visiting the museum ask for more. A display of computer system, calculators, videogames, cameras, scientific equipment like watches, timers, telescopes other interesting items make this museum one of the most unique ones in the world's computer history.

Mission
The Houston Computer Museum has a mission attached to it. The Houston Computer Museum entails the preservation of the information age, by maintaining and portraying them in a way that will give the viewer a range of information about the items on display. The story of the computer age thus comes to life as one view the items in the museum.   

The Houston Computer Museum will want each and every history lover to fulfill his curiosity as to where this entire computer story all began, and what process it took for the computer to move from a large, heavy and entirely slow processing machine to the microchip that we know today. The generational process that is displayed in the museum's stock will give you something to think about the future. What then does the future hold for such a fast and growing industry like the computer industry? Some of these questions can partly be answered just by taking a look into the collection.
