IBM turned 100

[the_tyrant]

Google, Apple and Facebook get all the attention. But the forgettable everyday tasks of technology ***8212; saving a file on your laptop, swiping your ATM card to get $40, scanning a container of milk at the checkout line ***8212; that's all IBM.

International Business Machines turns 100 on Thursday without much fanfare. But its much younger competitors owe a lot to Big Blue.

After all, where would Groupon be without the supermarket bar code? Or Google without the mainframe computer?
