Product Description
The development of the computer and information technology in the latter half of the twentieth century had a huge impact on the way we worked and the way we lived our lives. Its impact continues to be felt in the twenty first century with the increase in off-shoring, outsourcing and automation but where will technology take us next? Crash! Looks back at the history of computer hardware, software and networking. It tells the story of the computer's development and the stories of the key personalities and technologies encountered along the way. The trajectory is extended into the future with the current hot topics of information security, open source software and web services all reviewed in depth. Written to include the minimum of technical jargon, Crash! serves as an excellent introduction to the world of commercial IT as well as an opportunity for experienced practitioners to gain an unrivaled perspective of the past, present and future of information technology.
