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
