A History of Modern Computing
From the first digital computer to the dot-com crash - a story of individuals, institutions, and the forces that led to a series of dramatic transformations. This engaging history covers modern computing from the development of the first electronic digital computer through the dot-com crash.
The author concentrates on five key moments of transition: the transformation of the computer in the late 1940s from a specialised scientific instrument to a commercial product; the emergence of small systems in the late 1960s; the beginning of personal computing in the 1970s; the spread of networking after 1985; and, in a chapter written for the 2nd edition, the period 1995-2001.
Reports on the role played by Lyons and LEO Computers in the development of business computing. However the author adds that the book is intended as a history of USA computing and the references to developments in other countries including UK with LEO and Lyons are restricted to a few lines on page 10.
