| Summary: | "This volume presents biographies of over 120 individuals who had an innovative impact on the development of computer technology, culminating with the advent of the Internet, including the Dot Com Era and beyond, with an emphasis on early pioneers, such as inventors and engineers, and influential founders and executives of computer companies. This content details the lives of these innovators in the area of computer technology and business, with accompanying sidebars describing the company, organization, online service, or website that they founded, for which they worked, or with which they are affiliated. (Examples would include IBM, Microsoft, Xerox, Oracle Corporation, Apple, Atari, Dell, Intel, Texas Instruments, Hewlett-Packard, Adobe, and Gateway.) In particular, sidebars will describe why the company was influential. Each article will also have an accompanying photo. The Innovators series follows the model of previous Great Lives sets and offers an international focus."--Provided by publisher. |
