Time to compute

Abstract

The computer has become ubiquitous. Almost every office has at least one indeed, in many industries, almost every member of staff has one. This situation has come about in only 50 years – and, in effect, in only about a dozen years since the development of the first microcomputers. This article is about the history and development of the computer, but also about the relationship of the machine with time.
