"It is hard to imagine the modern world without information technology. At home, at work, and at play, mobile phones, e-mails, and computers have become part of daily life. The story of information technology is a story of machines -- from the ancient abacus to the small powerful computer chips of today. But it is also a story of people. Meet a woman who wrote computer programs two hundred years ago, a teenage millionaire, a man who began with a paperclip and ended with a house -- and the criminals who want your name and your money. Come and discover the world of information technology." (Book Cover)
