The later decades of the 20th century brought no bigger development than the rise of the computer and the Internet. Cars, entertainment, learning--even household appliances were controlled by microchips. There were other developments too, including the deciphering of human genetics. In this book, readers will gain a better understanding of how the digital age has changed the way we live our lives. Sidebars and timelines put finer details in accessible focus.
