Dear Reader,
What is it that drives human history?
Is it social needs, economic incentives, or simply the dreams and gumption of a select few? At History-Computer, we strive to offer thoughtful answers to difficult questions like this, while making room to cover a few lighter topics along the way.
According to the great Leonardo da Vinci, there are three types of people: those who see; those who see, when they are shown; those who do not see. Let's try to at least fall in the middle category!
Enjoy your time with us, and never forget the age-old quote: "Life is too short to be taken seriously."
Preserving the past together,
The History-Computer Staff
