DESCRIPTION:
This history of the computer explores the roots of the industry's development, tracing not only the development of the machine itselfbeginning with Charles Babbage's 1833 mechanical prototypebut also chronicling the effects of manufacturing and sales innovations by companies that made the boom possible.
BB said The gold standard textbook for history of computing courses. Probably the single best text on the history of computing for a general undergraduate audience. Interesting, well-written, and attentive to the socioeconomic implications of technological change as much as the technical dimensions. Definitely worth a read for anyone interested in understanding the history of our current computing landscape. Revised version is an improvement over the original (though original was very good too).. Amazon Customer said Computer history. Review of Campbell-Kelly et al’s "Computer" by Paul F.

It is a concise, well done history of the computer and the electronic world written in a way the non-technical student can understand. And, it is inexpensive!Pat GibsonAdjunct LecturerTexas State University
