The History of Computers

In order to know where we are headed, we need to know where we've come from! The history of the modern-day computer is actually quite interesting and students will discover it as a group.

The easiest way to learn about the history of computer science is through your own research. I highly recommend you watch and/or read the following:

• Crash Course Computer Science (at least episodes 1 & 2)

• Encyclopedia Britannica's History of Computing

• Explain That Stuff's A Brief History of Computers

• A complete Timeline of Computer History and Computer History Exhibits

• History of the Internet
