The personal computer was selected by Time magazine as the Man (in this case Machine) of the Year. This was the first time when the editor chose a non-human recipient of the award. It had been awarded to highly influential personnel such as political leaders and government officials. It was a significant recognition of the influence of the personal computer to the human life. In 1982, about 3 million personal computers were sold and the personal computer market had grown rapidly. At the time, Apple computers and IBM PCs had played a major role in the growth of the personal computer market. Personal computers have changed our lifestyle dramatically and the change is still on-going.
