Starting with the historic ENIAC of 1945, Ceruzzi moves nimbly through one epochal generation of computing technology after another:, giant mainframe vacuum-tube full of the early '50s, the sleeker, transistorized minicomputers of the '60s, personal computers conjure by collectors in the '70s, and computer networks that have come to the office and span the world in the last 10 years. Ceruzzi where all the developments in the context of social phenomena that shaped them: the necessity of research of the Cold War, the information needs of busy-business, and the quirks and dreams of the counter-culture of computer hackers. But unlike some popular books about computing history, this one refuses to recognize any particular individual, group, or institution as its protagonist.
