I personally think it is important to learn about the history of technology b/c you have to learn how to use computers and how they were created, who was the first to use them, how can they be useful  you know that we need to know all that in my case. I feel you just have to learn about the history of technology to be successful in computers and so that you like if they ask you who invented the computers, were do they come from, you will know and it will be an automatic response. That is why I think it is important to know the important history of  technology.
