About this title

Synopsis

The author tells his experiences from the early days of computer science until 2004. At that time when it was not recognized what a gigantic transformation it will bring to the history of humanity. The many detailed technical descriptions are loosed with normal human stories. The inevitable upcoming associations which arose while writing led to parables, illusions, and daring theses. But he soon returns to reality. With a laugh, tears, and a blinking eye, he now says to his 'buddies', the computers: Goodbye. We had an excellent time... Reviewed by Foluso Falaye, Citybboks. The OTHER Computer History is mightily educational, immersing, and inspiring as it made me feel like a part of the events and showed me the harsh realities and tough phases that people with dreams and ideas have to go through to achieve great feats. Some companies succeeded, while others failed embarrassingly; ultimately, a new, phenomenal reality was born out of the collective works of different companies and individuals such as Hans Bodmer, who might not be as glorified as the celebrated names, but who were surely important contributors to the creation of world-changing supercomputers
