Oma ligi 80-aastase ajaloo juures on elektronarvutid fundamentaalselt muutnud info kogumist, töötlust ja kommunikatsiooni. Kiirete numbriliste arvutuste võimaldajast (computer oli ametinimetus käsitsi arvutajatele, peamiselt tegelesid sellega meestest palju hoolikamad naised) sai kuuekümnendatel ettevõtete andmete, palgatšekkide ja reserveeringute haldaja.
