The story of information technology is a story of machines - from the ancient abacus to the small powerful computer chips of today. But it is also a story of people. Meet a woman who wrote computer programs two hundred years ago, a teenage millionaire, a man who began with a paperclip and ended with a house - and the show more criminals who want your name and your money. Come and discover the world of information technology. show less

This book is written about how Information Technology,like personal computer,mobile phone and Internet,was born.
And this book is also written about owing to their technology's development,how our life change.
Personal computer produce big big company,Microsoft Computer.
Internet make people who think too deeply rich.
Their things are very simply written in this book.

Because it is not story,I was bored.
But it is good book.
If you are interested in IT,I recommend it tou you.
When you finish reading this book,you would get new idea.
Desde el ábaco a los modernos ordenadores ha transcurrido un largo viaje.En este libro podemos conocer la historia de Computadores como Deep Blue, que ganó al mejor jugador de ajedrez del mundo, o Colossus, que ayudó a salvar vidas en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Pero en este libro también aparecen personas como Alan Turing ,Bill Gates, creadores de virus iinformáticos, adolescentes que se hicieron millonarios a través de Internet o criminales que usan la tecnología para apropiarse de nuestra identidad y nuestro dinero.
