The History Channel Modern Marvels: Computers (DVD/ Documentary)
by The History ChannelProduct Overview
The incredible breakthroughs and refinements that have marked the development of the computer are so familiar that they have lost some of their power to amaze. But the fact that we can now create a single, coin-sized chip boasting more power than early computers that filled entire rooms is one of the most impressive and important engineering achievements in human history.
This detailed look at the evolution of computers traces their development from the days of the ENIAC to IBM's awesome ASCI White, which can perform 12 trillion calculations per second. We'll see how Apple turned the computer into a household accessory, and examine the advances that might lay ahead, such as computers integrated into our clothing or even embedded in fingernail polish! Among the experts adding their unique insights are Steve Wozniak, the inventor of the original Apple, and futurist Ray Kurzweil.
