Synopsis "Fire in The Mind: The 1970s Computer Decade"

"The most comprehensive book ever written on the evolution of the computer industry, referencing almost all the companies with insightful anecdotes on the people involved and their impact." Dr. Haluk Atkan, Professor, Western Michigan University"An excellent book on the history of modern computing. It also pays tribute to the many forgotten 'unsung heroes' who paved the way leading to our digital way of life today. For those of us who worked for those pioneering companies, this book takes us for a wonderful walk down computer memory lane. Thank you!" Phil Ly, President, Transaction Innovation CorporationFrom interviews and extensive research, this book explains how innovative ideas took shape in one key decade in the life of computer technology - the 1970s. During this time, the microprocessor became commercially viable and started the wheels in motion that would alter the world's thinking. Inventive people with ideas started to challenge the large computer companies and their domination of the computer market - and the world of mini-computers and personal computers were born. Where did the ubiquitous mouse come from? Who patented the first portable computer? Could Japan have become the Silicon Valley as we know it today? Fire in the Mind lets you travel back in time to grasp what challenged early computer developers. This book contains a wealth of photographs that cannot be found in any other single publication.
