Communication and Computers

2004 | Computing & IT

In today's information age, developments in communications technology are regularly announced, and new products are able to transmit more information, in a greater variety of formats, faster than ever. In the past, technical advances in communications were less rapid and yet their impact on society may have been greater. Communications and Computers examines the inventions and innovators responsible for the greatest historical advances in the exchange of information. From the written word to photography to modern wireless communication, this book provides an insightful look at how technology has changed the ways in which people share information with each other. Enhancing the engaging narrative are illustrations, as well as a timeline, glossary, further reading list, and index.
