Culturologist Martin Burckhardt (b. 1957) shows that the digital era began as early as 1746. We would not have the Internet if Abbé Nollet had not then discovered that electricity travels almost instantly, if Joseph-Marie Jacquard had not invented his loom and if Charles Babbage had not created his Analytical Engine - the prototype of the modern computer. Digitalization is not driven by mathematics, but by human passions and aspirations. This book provides an opportunity to look at the computer not as a device, but as a new model of society that will determine our future. Here is everything about the history of the car that you wanted to know, but were afraid to ask. The publishing layout of the book is saved in PDF A4 format.
