Description
Computers are here to stay, but what are the origins of this phenomenon of the century? What did the first computer compute? In the fully illustrated History of Computers, discover how computers played a part in the outcome of World War II, and learn about the milestones in technology that made it possible to include massive amounts of information on a tiny "chip." Gain insight into the development of the computer industry as you find out: Which came first, Apple Computer or IBM? Which were the two biggest computer companies of the "Seven Dwarves" in the mid-1960s? Which two companies were involved in creating Windows software? The History of Computers presents the vast variety of computer technology, from the most basic calculator to the consummately complex mega-machines available today. Simple time lines place each event in clear perspective, and the author's engaging style is complemented by photos and beautifully rendered illustrations that bring to life the explosive evolution of these mighty machines.
