Comments:	Computers and communications: a Personal History Ian Duffy Everyday life is now dependent on this technology, and its latest ubiquitous iteration is the smart phone. How did this happen and where are we headed? Arthur C. Clarke suggests that “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Join me as we unravel the history of this revolution, and replace magic with logic, science, and technology. (NB. This is not a course on how to use your PC, Mac, tablet or smart phone).
