Computer A History of the Information Machine

Computer A History of the Information Machine

Computer: A History of the Information Machine traces the history of the computer and its unlimited information-processing potential. Comprehensive and accessibly written this fully updated fourth edition adds new chapters on the globalization of information technology the rise of social media fake news and the gig economy and the regulatory frameworks being put in place to tame the ubiquitous computer. Computer is an insightful look at the pace of technological advancement and the seamless way computers are integrated into the modern world. The authors examine the history of the computer including the first steps taken by Charles Babbage in the nineteenth century and how wartime needs and the development of electronics led to the giant ENIAC the first electronic computer. For a generation IBM dominated the computer industry. In the 1980s the desktop PC liberated people from room-sized mainframe computers. Next laptops and smartphones made computers available to half of the world’s population leading to the rise of Google and Facebook and powerful apps that changed the way we work consume learn and socialize. The volume is an essential resource for scholars and those studying computer history technology history and information and society as well as a range of courses in the fields of computer science communications sociology and management. | Computer A History of the Information Machine

Philosophy through Computer Science An Introduction

Philosophy through Computer Science An Introduction

What do philosophy and computer science have in common? It turns out quite a lot! In providing an introduction to computer science (using Python) Daniel Lim presents in this book key philosophical issues ranging from external world skepticism to the existence of God to the problem of induction. These issues and others are introduced through the use of critical computational concepts ranging from image manipulation to recursive programming to elementary machine learning techniques. In illuminating some of the overlapping conceptual spaces of computer science and philosophy Lim teaches readers fundamental programming skills and allows them to develop the critical thinking skills essential for examining some of the enduring questions of philosophy. Key Features Teaches readers actual computer programming not merely ideas about computers Includes fun programming projects (like digital image manipulation and Game of Life simulation) allowing the reader to develop the ability to write larger computer programs that require decomposition abstraction and algorithmic thinking Uses computational concepts to introduce clarify and develop a variety of philosophical issues Covers various aspects of machine learning and relates them to philosophical issues involving science and induction as well as to ethical issues Provides a framework to critically analyze arguments in classic and contemporary philosophical debates | Philosophy through Computer Science An Introduction

Electoral Survey Methodology Insight from Japan on using computer assisted personal interviews

Electoral Survey Methodology Insight from Japan on using computer assisted personal interviews

While it has been some time since computer technologies were first introduced to social surveys their methodological advantages as well as potential limitations are not yet fully appreciated by the relevant communities of scholars mass media and governmental organizations. What can computer-assisted surveys do which ordinary paper and pencil interviews (PAPI) can never do? How does the usage of computer technology affect the quality of survey process and of collected data? More generally what are the issues pertinent to the methodology of public opinion inquiry that are now revealed by the availability of computer-assisted surveying technique? The book seeks to address these questions systematically with each individual chapter providing a well-focused analysis and ample evidence from Japan. As the computer-assisted survey is bound to be more dominant in the coming years this book provides an important foundation for future academic studies as well as their practical applications in the field. | Electoral Survey Methodology Insight from Japan on using computer assisted personal interviews

Human–Computer Interaction Fundamentals and Practice

Human–Computer Interaction Fundamentals and Practice

Although life continues to become increasingly embedded with interactive computing services that make our lives easier human-computer interaction (HCI) has not been given the attention it deserves in the education of software developers at the undergraduate level. Most entry-level HCI textbooks are structured around high-level concepts and are not directly tied to the software development process. Filling this need Human-Computer Interaction: Fundamentals and Practice supplies an accessible introduction to the entire cycle of HCI design and implementation—explaining the core HCI concepts behind each step. Designed around the overall development cycle for an interactive software product it starts off by covering the fundamentals behind HCI. The text then quickly goes into the application of this knowledge. It covers the forming of HCI requirements modeling the interaction process designing the interface implementing the resulting design and evaluating the implemented product. Although this textbook is suitable for undergraduate students of computer science and information technology it is accessible enough to be understood by those with minimal programming knowledge. Supplying readers with a firm foundation in the main HCI principles the book provides a working knowledge of HCI-oriented software development. The core content of this book is based on the introductory HCI course (advanced junior or senior-level undergraduate) that the author has been teaching at Korea University for the past eight years. The book includes access to PowerPoint lecture slides as well as source code for the example applications used throughout the text. | Human–Computer Interaction Fundamentals and Practice
