COMPUTING - PAUL E CERUZZI KARTONIERT (TB)

In this concise and accessible account of the invention and development of digital technology 
computer historian Paul Ceruzzi offers a broad and useful perspective. He identifies four major
threads that run throughout all of computings 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 Moores Law 
and the human-machine interface. Ceruzzi guides us through computing history and describes the
development of the silicon chip. He visits that hotbed of innovation  Silicon Valley  and
brings the story up to the present with the Internet  the World Wide Web  and social
networking.
