So that being said, here is a short history of the Computer Age through six “C” Eras, and the resulting “C-Change” to business and society. What is important and most interesting is that none of these eras came and went; each still exists with succeeding eras building upon the previous … a unique paradigm that explains not only why computing has evolved but also why we have still only just started.
