Computers first appeared as cumbersome electronic machines during World War II, as an aid to directing accurate artillery fire. With miniaturization of electronic circuitry and components in the 1970s, the computer began assuming the forms we know today-becoming essential to our lives, solving problems, and providing information, communication, and entertainment. This illustrated volume presents the computer's fascinating history. Barron's ticktock books provide information on a wide range of subjects for young adult readers in illustrated, attractive magazine-style layouts. (Ages 10 and older)
