After 1980 there is a lack of information on computing...

...available online, can anybody tell me why this is and point out some websites with information on computing post-1980?

What do you mean, a lack of information?

I mean, there is less documented about computing after the 1980s.

That's because it got boring after the early 80s, and computer science was replaced by computer marketing.

rojash is right. for post 80s stuff, just look up the history of Apple, Microsoft, big blue, etc.
