+\section{Context}
 
+%% We need to understand context ...
+  All engineering decisions are taken in a context and those that are adopted
+  by any industry are oftentimes driven by previous decisions taken in the same
+  subject. Specifically, the computing industry, arguably due to its rapid
+  emergence, has been heavily influenced by previous technology and
+  \textit{backwards compatibility}. Reviewing the most influential ideas of
+  computing one can obtain valuable information to be able to criticise current
+  computing systems and propose pioneering alternatives.
 
 \subsection{Von Neumann model}
   The von Neummann model introduced in 1945 proposes a general purpose device
   consisting of a \textit{Central Processing Unit} (CPU) and a \textit{Store}.
-
   The \textit{Store} is often implemented as a \textit{Random Access Memory}
   (RAM or, simply, \textit{memory}), which stores data in bytes, each of them
   with an \textit{address}, in a tabulated fashion.
