2012 Wallpapers HD Biography:
2012 Wallpapers HD in the civilized world, seldom will you find a computer without a HD wallpaper resting on the monitor. Most of us, however, have no idea about how wallpapers for computers came to be. Some might say that this is not necessary, but knowing how common things came to be is always a good thing. The knowledge will be a good topic of conversation, if nothing else.
The first time a wallpaper was witnessed was way back in 1985, in the computer Bronze Age. Back then, HD images were Sci Fi, and pictures were made of a few dozens of pixels. You know, pixels are those blocky looking things that now are counted in millions. The X Windows System was the one that implemented backgrounds; it consisted of simply painting the screen with a solid color. The best it could do was to use an X BitMap file.
A breakthrough came in 1989, when a free software could use a GIF image as background was released. Also, Windows was the operating system that popularized the term “wallpaper.” The Mac operating system uses the terms “Desktop Picture” to refer to the same thing. Please note that, since the Vista OS onwards, “Desktop Background” is the name used instead of wallpaper. However, people still use the latter term as keyword, the vast majority anyway, when searching for HD pictures to use as backgrounds.
