"From the tiniest gadget to vast scientific simulators, computers are integral to our lives, and are developing at ever-increasing speed. The Computer traces the evolution of this vital machine from its earliest roots through its exciting application in code-breaking during the Second World War, from its initial use in the workplace and home, to is current status as a totally indispensable -- and increasingly portable - part of twenty-first century life. Highly illustrated, the book brings home the rapid reduction in computer size and growth in capacity, and its vast range of uses. From colossus to the iPad -- this book tells the whole extraordinary story." -- Back cover
