IBM Centennial




International Business Machines or commonly (and shortly) called as IBM is is a multinational technology company that manufactures and markets computer hardware, middleware and software, and offers hosting and consulting services in areas ranging from mainframe computers to nanotechnology. (wikipedia.org)

It was first named Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company but was later on changed to IBM. It was founded by Thomas J. Watson, Sr. who coined IBM's motto then which was "Think." As of now,  the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of IBM is Ginni Rometty. Rometty was appointed President and CEO effective January 1, 2012 and she became Chairman of the Board of Directors on October 1, 2012.

If it weren't for IBM and the people who helped in building this empire, our computer technology wouldn't be as advanced as we have today. And with more aspiring computer geniuses that we have now and the years to come, I wouldn't be surprised if unimaginable and what seem to be impossible inventions and development will come.
