Description
Today computers shape every aspect of our lives. In our pockets, we carry mobile phones with computing power that was unimaginable just 50 years ago. Many industries are embracing the promises - and the risks - of artificial intelligence. The world is changing faster than ever, and computing is at the heart of technological development.
Dermot Turing explores the history of this rapidly evolving
technology, from the Charles Babbage and his experiments with steam
powered calculators to the computerised Go champion, AlphaGo. Featuring
wonderful, full-colour images which illustrate this history, The Story of Computing is the essential guide to a subject that none of us can ignore.
Topics include:
The birth of the computer
Codebreaking in World War II
Innovations in hardware and software
Artificial intelligence
The internet
The challenges of cybersecurity.
