"Before the Computer fully explores the data processing industry in the United States from its nineteenth-century inception down to the period when the computer became its primary tool. James Cortada describes how many of the practices of the "office appliance industry" evolved into those of the computer world. This book challenges our view of the digital computer as a revolutionary technology - by establishing its evolutionary links to the past."--BOOK JACKET.
