Description
Offers an introduction to the history of computing during the 'first' (of steam) and the 'second' (of electricity) industrial revolution
Suggests that the computing revolution and the industrial revolution were the same, with the one making the other possible and vice versa
Proposes that analog and digital computing technology is inseparable, with their alleged difference actually resulting from either full or restricted view of the computing process
