The January 3, 1983 issue of Time Magazine featured the personal computer as the “Machine of the Year.” This was a significant departure from the magazine’s tradition of naming a “Man of the Year,” marking the first time an inanimate object received the distinction1. The cover story, titled “The Computer Moves In,” highlighted the growing importance and influence of personal computers in society2. It was a recognition of the PC revolution that was transforming business, culture, and everyday life at the time.
