Computers through the eyes of a man,
By A Customer
This review is from: From dits to bits: A personal history of the electronic computer (Hardcover)
Bill Gates, "The Silicon Valley", and a muriad of other sources seem the creators of the modern day computerI have a career in telecommunications As a tech. I installed the first DSL access systems. As a "Detailed Engineer" I provided the instructions for the installation of many competative access systems for service in California. As a Business Development manager I have been involved in the promotion of communications access devices. In my various roles I have researched various communication technologies more specifically access communication. Although this is not a technicaol document, I find this book to be a valuable reference in my continued research. That is to say that the insight into the modern day computer through a personal account of its development is invaluable. This book would be benificial to anyone interested in understading computers and their history. This book is not a self serving biography for a man, but is the "pre-history" of the computer through the eyes of an Engineer who was there. I can't express into words the profound impact this book has had on me personally. Let me finish by stating that the inventors of the first computer, Dr. J. Presper and Dr. John Mauchly, have also read and endorsed this book.
