The Untold Story of Everything Digital (eBook, ePUB)

Bright Boys, Revisited

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Although Bright Boys covers the years 1938 to 1958, the critical time period in making Information Technology's transformative tool-the electronic digital computer (Whirlwind)-was 1945 to 1949. With the 70th anniversary of the making of that tool coming up in 2019, the new edition of Bright Boys will celebrate that singular event.
