Computers: The Life Story of a
Technology by David L. Ferro
A History That Reads Like A Good Thriller
A great technological and scientific innovation of the last half of the
twentieth century, the computer has revolutionized how we organize
information, how we communicate with each other, and even the way we
think about the human mind. Computers have eased the drudgery of such
tasks as calculating sums and clerical work, making them both more
bearable and more efficient, whatever the occasional frustration they carry
with them. The computer has become a standard fixture in our culture, a
necessity for many aspects of business, recreation, and everyday life. In
this book, Eric G. Swedin and David L. Ferro offer an accessible short
history of this dynamic technology, covering its central themes from
ancient times to the present day.
Personal Review: Computers: The Life Story of a Technology by
David L. Ferro
Recently I finished a story on pop culture and technology. I discussed how
the transitor became lineage for the present day computer chip. I am
fascinated with technology and history which made me love reading this
book. The book presents a timeline for computer technology and yes, I
admit, I am a computer geek who reminisce in technology of the past. I sit
back remembering when I won my very first transitor radio and I smile
thinking about my old 286 computer chip. The book was an interesting
read because it took me on a trip to my past. I still marval at how
technology changes and how much I use it today.
