Their efforts put the PC squarely at the center of the digital revolution that continues to push and pull us toward places we’d never envisioned. Peter Farwell, the author of multiple books focusing on technology and an early purcahaser of an Apple II, explains how he came to know these entrepreneurs, and explores how the revolution impacts everything we do: how we study and learn, how we work, how we deal with data, how we write, how we communicate, how we make and build relationships, and even how we play games. He focuses on technology titans who advanced PC technology, including where they came from, their training, and their remarkable contributions. To make the book easy to read, technical details, such as the several internet protocols, have been placed in appendices.
