The computer is the great technological and scientific innovation of the last half of the twentieth century. It has revolutionized how we organize information, how we communicate with each other, and even the way that we think about the human mind. Computers have eased the drudgery of such tasks as calculating sums and clerical work, making them both more bearable and more efficient. The computer has become ubiquitous in many aspects of business, recreation, and everyday life, and the trend is that they are becoming both more powerful and easier to use. Computers: The Life Story of a Technology provides an accessible overview of this ever changing technology, giving students and lay readers an understanding of the complete scope of its history from ancient times to the present day.
The volume includes a glossary of terms, a timeline of important events, and a selected bibliography of useful resources for further information.

Circulates Air to Make Your Home Comfortable
Because your home is where you rest, recharge, and gather with friends and family, it should be a place of extraordinary comfort. The Palermo helps create a space where air circulates freely, which helps improve your room’s overall air flow and keeps the temperature at a pleasant level. And unlike air conditioners, it won’t artificially cool your air with chemicals. It simply keeps the air moving, which can make all the difference during both warm and cool months.
Complements Your Style and Keeps Noise at a Minimum
Designed to enhance any decor, the Palermo features five reversible Cherry/Maple blades, and it is finished in nickel for a clean, contemporary look. Ideal for larger rooms, this fan accepts a 22-watt compact fluorescent bulb (not included). And best of all, the Palermo has a WhisperWind motor, which means it produces very little noise as the blades rotate.
Energy Star Rated to Save You Money
Thanks to its integrated fluorescent bowl light, this fan is beautiful, earning it the Energy Star label. The Energy Star label is reserved only for products that offer superior energy performance. These products generally save you up to 33% on your heating and cooling costs when compared to models that do not have the Energy Star label. With Energy Star products, the benefits are clear: you’ll use less energy, spend less money, and worry less about harming the environment.
