Length: 28 pages

This is a course on the evolution of the digital computer and how the telecommunication industry evolved along with the digital computer, culminating in modern communication technology. A brief history of digital computers is given, along with some important milestones that happened along the way. This will stretch from “0G” to what we see advertised as “5G.”

This radical progression of the communication industry took root much earlier than the advent of the personal computer or cell phone. This is a technological journey that humankind has been taking for almost 200 years. The fruits of convenient communication that we enjoy today were planted by the ingenuity of engineers and scientists born long before us, and this course will benefit any who are curious to know more about the development of this technology.
