Omschrijving
ISBN: 9780262517676
The history of computing could be told as the story of hardware and software, or the story of the Internet, or the story of \"smart\" hand-held devices, with subplots involving IBM, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, and Twitter. In this concise and accessible account of the invention and development of digital technology, computer historian Paul Ceruzzi offers a broader and more useful perspective. He identifies four major threads that run throughout all of computing\'s technological development: digitization--the coding of information, computation, and control in binary form, ones and zeros; the convergence of multiple streams of techniques, devices, and machines, yielding more than the sum of their parts; the steady advance of electronic technology, as characterized famously by \"Moore\'s Law\"; and the human-machine interface. Ceruzzi guides us through computing history, telling how a Bell Labs mathematician coined the word \"digital\" in 1942 (to describe a high-speed method of calculating used in anti-aircraft devices
