Abstract

The American Computer Museum opened its doors in Bozeman in 1990. It presently has the most comprehensive collection of the history of communications and computing on public display. Drawing on this collection, the presentation will highlight the mileposts in the evolution of mathematics, calculation, data processing, telecommunications and the Internet. Using scores of photographs and a video, George Keremedjiev, the director of the museum will offer a tour of the information highway, the personalities behind its inventions and the social impact to come, through the use of computers and the Internet, in the unraveling of nature's most complex code, DNA . The presentation will appeal to both novices and experts in the fields of mathematics, computing and the history of science and technology.
