I am just reading Tom Wheeler's From Gutenberg to Google <https://books.google.com/books/about/From_Gutenberg_to_Google.html?id=rd57F8IjyF0C&printsec=frontcover&source=kp_read_button#v=onepage&q&f=false>. While a history of networks and their impact, rather than computing, it does cover many aspects, and is extremely well written. Might work as "more reading". joly On Fri, Mar 22, 2019 at 8:32 PM Xanat Meza via Air-L < air-l@listserv.aoir.org> wrote:

For sure, the most important book/audiobook I have ever read (about 6 times).

Hi all,
I’m looking for a text (book, article, a few chapters) that tells the history of computers, starting from Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace’s Analytical Engine to present days. This is for a 200-level undergraduate class, so I’m trying to summarize the topic as much as possible, to give students a general overview in a couple of classes.
Any suggestions? _________________________ Adriana de Souza e Silva University Faculty Scholar Professor Department of Communication http://www.souzaesilva.com
