review 1: Being an IBM guy myself, I cannot over emphasize how understated Big Blue is in this world. For innovate, fast, and reliable computing, IBM is without peer. But, few people can tell you why IBM consistently produces great technology and value. This book helps the casual computer user understand how IBM has been all about getting the job done.Each platform can boast of something that it does best, but this book demonstrates how IBM has paved the way for all others to grow from. From RAM to HDD to CPU and COMMs, we need consider this silent giant. Not all was roses for them. IBM has had to refocus several times, but with each change they've emerged stronger.The best part about this three part book is that it makes a great casual reader. The photography is great and follows t... morehe narrative. You can almost make it a coffee table reader if it was just a little bigger.Highly recommend this.
review 2: On June 16, 2011, IBM celebrated their centennial. Today, computers influence nearly every aspect of our lives. Who knew that punch cards would serve to change the world to such an extent? Making the World Work Better looks at the history of innovation at IBM and the computing world in general. It’s really quite an amazing journey. A hundred years ago, punch cards were useful for collecting data for time cards and the like but they couldn’t do anything with that data and they sure couldn’t manipulate it or analyze it. For the most part, industry was built while trying to make these systems more useful. Continuing to make them faster, more memory, greater computing power, and user friendly until people started to realize the potential of such systems. less
