plz give the details about the origin of EVENT-DRIVEN PROGRAMMING

Event-driven programming is a computer programming paradigm. Unlike traditional programs, which follow their own control flow pattern, only sometimes changing course at branch points, the control flow of event-driven programs is largely driven by external events.

I am just guessing here that when computing resources were costly, you didnt really want to generate unexpected events. So most common programming paradigm would be the batch process style.
Since computing became cheap, event driven programming picked up. And frankly, I would say that gaming is the single biggest driver of this paradigm.
Most other software (unless those that are large scale deployment of DB driven enterprise applications) are rarely as event driven as games.
Just my 2 cents!
