Computers

By Christine Taylor-Butler

Book Overview

From the smart phone in your pocket to the advanced systems controlling everything from banks to national security, computers are behind almost everything people do.

However, this wasn't always true. Readers (Grades 3-5) will explore the fascinating history of computer technology, from the room-filling code-breaking machines of World War II to the remarkably tiny and powerful computers we rely on today.
