Today, we use computers in factories and offices, in schools and hospitals, and in our homes. Our computers are now small enough for us to carry, and some computers are quite cheap. More and more people can use them at work or at home.

In 1940, some English scientists made the first electronic computer in Europe. It was too big to carry or move, and it used a lot of electricity.

Scientists had to find new and better ways to make the electronic parts of computers. They had to make computers small enough to carry and move easily, they had to make all the parts smaller.

Since 1940, computers have become smaller and smaller. Some small pocket calculators today can do more difficult calculations than the first big electronic computer.

But the Atlanteans became greedy—they had everything, but they still wanted more. The gods became angry, and the island was hit by earthquakes and great waves. Finally, the whole of Atlantis sank into the sea.

Throughout history, explorers have reported finding Atlantis. In 2004, the explorer, Robert Sarmast reported finding the island’s remains on an undersea mountain near Cyprus. However, Sarmast and other scientists later found out these findings were natural, not man-made.
