Time Warner Interactive has released How Computers Work, a Macintosh title designed to teach the history and inner workings of the desktop miracle. The title is based on the best-selling Time-Life Books series, Understanding Computers and How Things Work. How Computers Work is a CD-ROM program that illustrates computer-related concepts with QuickTime movies and interactivity.
Colorful, narrated slide shows and hands-on activities demystify programming, memory, storage and applications such as databases and desktop publishing.
Featuring some of the latest innovations in technology, How Computers Work explains computers through compelling visual techniques: animation explains how the mouse works and what goes on inside the CPU, and a timeline that discusses computers as they evolved through the decades features stunning graphics which pop up as your mouse moves over each entry.
