Technology
From the abacus to the modern computer
has been an extraordinary journey. Take
that journey with us, and meet some great machines. There is the computer that
came as a box of parts that you put together yourself, and Deep Blue, the
computer that could beat the world's best chess player-sometimes. There is Colossus
that saved lives in the Second World War, and mobile phones that have helped
police to catch criminals.
In addition, as well as machines there are people in this story too -
good people and bad, rich and poor, clever and stupid. There is Internet
millionaires who have helped people all over the world - and there are virus
writers who have done terrible damage to computers in dozens of countries.
Come and discover the stories behind the
phone in your pocket, and the computer on your desk.
