Humble Beginnings

Dell’s humble beginnings start with a university student who sells personal computers in his dorm room in Texas. Michael Dell personally assembles computer parts into clones of IBM computers and sells them by mail order. Since this scheme is cheaper, it instantly becomes a success. And by 1986, he dropped out of school and incorporated his business, the Dell Computer Corporation.

Dell advertises through computer magazines targeting buyers who can recognize good quality PC at a low price. And as a result, Dell Computer Corporation became the top brand name in the direct-mail market. This achievement enabled them to open a new office in London and a subsidiary in Canada.

The Start of Legend

As we all know, a legend is not born in a day. Lenovo Group Limited, a technology legend, also started from nothing.

Lenovo’s origin starts from Beijing, China with a man named Liu Chuanzhi and a group of ten engineers. On November 1, 1984, the founders officially started the company and held a meeting. It was then agreed that it will be named as Chinese Academy of Sciences Computer Technology Research Institute New Technology Development Company. However, its English name “Legend Group” was what Lenovo became known for before the existing one.

And like business as usual, Legend’s rookie attempts into the market was a failure. From television to digital watch, nothing seems to be working. It was until the year 1990 that they finally started to have a breakthrough. The company starts to manufacture and market computers using their brand name. And from hereon, everything became legendary.

Due to the limited amount of memory, humans learned how to document. From writing to saving files on devices, technology made everything convenient. However, the amount of data only increases every day, and thus, the problem with data storage arises.

The history of data storage traces back as far as ancient times. People do it through stone wall writing or other available materials. We can only imagine how time and space-consuming that is.
