The Radio Shack TRS-80 was an early personal computer introduced in 1977, notable for its role in popularizing home and small business computing. It featured a microprocessor, a black-and-white monitor, and used floppy disks for storage. Designed to be user-friendly for its time, it enabled users to run software, create programs, and perform basic data tasks. While less powerful than modern computers, it was groundbreaking in making computing accessible outside of specialized environments. The TRS-80 helped pave the way for the widespread use of personal computers and influenced future technology development.
