Computers are the defining technology of our time. Over the past 50 years, the impact of computers on our lives has been enormous. This booklet explores some of the questions raised by the Powerhouse Museum exhibition Cyberworlds: computers and connections. What is a computer? What can it do? Who developed computers and why? How do the different cyberworlds in which we live influence our culture and our values. Cyberworlds tracks the history of computers from the earliest computing machines of the 19th century to the compelling virtual world created by computers today.
