Description
Charles A. Jortberg (au). In 1953 a scientist predicted there would only be the need for 100 computers in the whole world. How wrong could he be?

This book for young people describes the explosive growth of computers in the world & their uses in business, communication, air traffic control, & the space program. Contents: RCA & IBM; The Rush to Build a Big Computer; The DEW Line; What Makes a Computer Work: Programming, Processor, & Displays; Sending Messages: Printers: Applications: Air Traffic Control; NASA; & Glossary. Photos.
