A History of Computing Technology: 1968-2007: Unix, Apple, Microsoft,
Processors, Hardware, Software, Networking, Games, Culture
by Scott Granneman
abstract:
A lot has changed since 1968, nowhere more so than when it comes to
technology. In this fun multimedia march through the last four decades,
we'll relive the GREAT events, companies, and personalities that shaped
the technology world we live in today. We'll also stop along the way for
a look at some of the smaller, lesser-known incidents that are no less
important. Even if you were there for all it, you're going to learn
something new and fascinating.
