Computer: A History of the Information Machine traces the history of the computer and shows how business and government were the first to explore its unlimited, information-processing potential. Old-fashioned entrepreneurship combined with scientific know-how inspired now famous computer engineers to create the technology that became IBM. Wartime needs drove the giant ENIAC, the first fully electronic computer. Later, the PC enabled modes of computing that liberated people from room-sized, mainframe computers. This third edition provides updated analysis on software and computer networking, including new material on the programming profession, social networking, and mobile computing. It expands its focus on the IT industry with fresh discussion on the rise of Google and Facebook as well as how powerful applications are changing the way we work, consume, learn, and socialize. Computer is an insightful look at the pace of technological advancement and the seamless way computers are integrated into the modern world. Through comprehensive history and accessible writing, Computer is perfect for courses on 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.

In the 21st century, to perform a given task in real life, we need to think beyond mere accumulation of knowledge from textbooks. The NEP 2020 calls for a shift from assessment system where rote learning is emphasized to competency-based education (CBE). Competency-based education is an approach to teaching, where learner is placed at the center (student centered learning) which promotes learning, development of high order skills such as conceptual analysis, critical thinking. It emphasizes knowledge based on experiential learning relevant to daily life. Competency-based education is a form of education that derives curriculum from an analysis of a prospective or actual role in modern society and that attempts to certify students' progress on the basis of demonstrated performance in some or all aspects of that role. According to the theory, such demonstrations of competence do not depend on the amount of time spent in formal education settings (Riesman, 1979).

Academics 4.0 has become increasingly crucial in recent times due to the impact of Industry 4.0 on various fields. The emergence of disruptive technologies and the cyber-physical world has underscored the need for experts in these areas, which requires proper training of students from an early stage. Education 4.0 is essential in preparing faculties and students adequately for this purpose. This approach shifts the focus from teaching to learning and employs blended learning, MOOC courses, and flipped classrooms to achieve better understanding and application of knowledge. The practical aspect of the subject is discussed in the classroom, while the theoretical aspect is taught outside the class. The book, Architecture and Technological Advancements of Education 4.0, aims to explain the rationale, advantages, and features of Academics 4.0, explore assessment tools and techniques, and describe the national policy for bringing change in education. It also covers blended learning, MOOC courses, virtual labs, and mobile learning, with a focus on their benefits. The book will be useful for universities and educational entities that aim to follow Academics 4.0 in the education system, serve as a reference manual for research articles, and be helpful to faculties and academicians who wish to implement and assess online techniques. Additionally, it will be an excellent learning platform for providers and users of relevant domains, with a broad range of topics covering its impact on the education system, students, and workforce.

From the first digital computer to the dot-com crash—a story of individuals, institutions, and the forces that led to a series of dramatic transformations. This engaging history covers modern computing from the development of the first electronic digital computer through the dot-com crash. The author concentrates on five key moments of transition: the transformation of the computer in the late 1940s from a specialized scientific instrument to a commercial product; the emergence of small systems in the late 1960s; the beginning of personal computing in the 1970s; the spread of networking after 1985; and, in a chapter written for this edition, the period 1995-2001. The new material focuses on the Microsoft antitrust suit, the rise and fall of the dot-coms, and the advent of open source software, particularly Linux. Within the chronological narrative, the book traces several overlapping threads: the evolution of the computer's internal design; the effect of economic trends and the Cold War; the long-term role of IBM as a player and as a target for upstart entrepreneurs; the growth of software from a hidden element to a major character in the story of computing; and the recurring issue of the place of information and computing in a democratic society. The focus is on the United States (though Europe and Japan enter the story at crucial points), on computing per se rather than on applications such as artificial intelligence, and on systems that were sold commercially and installed in quantities.
