This website provides a chronology of events in information technology from 3000 B.C. to 1998. The history of Information Technology is divided into "[f]our basic periods characterized by a principal technology used to solve the input, processing, output and communication problems of the time: 1. Premechanical [3000 B.C. to 450 A.D.], 2. Mechanical [1450 to 1840], 3. Electromechanical [1840 to 1940], and 4. Electronic [1940 to the present]." The website features numerous illustrations of relevant technologies and historical figures. An excellent teaching tool!
