  • Title: The History of Computing

    
    In the 1970s the IBM Speakers Bureau had a packaged presentation that their managers could give on request. It consisted of over 100 35 mm slides covering the history of computing from 1600 to the modern era of large electronic computers. Unfortunately, the copies of this presentation that remain today are badly deteriorated. A copy was given to MITA. Mr. Carrick has recreated this presentation in PowerPoint with all new images gathered from accross the World Wide Web. Additional material that has been discovered since the original IBM presentation was created has also been incorporated.
