This work is suitable for ages 8-14. It is hard to imagine that something so important to our daily lives has been around for less than 70 years. People use computers today to calculate, store information, send messages, control other machines, and even to play games.

The topics include: computers as machines that add and analyse; Colossus I and the race to break enemy codes in World War II; computer codes, transistors and chips, software and peripherals; the personal computer; and, computers of the future.
