| Publisher Description: We are undergoing a period of rapid change in technology. I decided to write this book giving a perspective on where we are today and how we evolved to reach today's level of advanced technology. One example of what I mean is small home and lap top computers with more power than a room sized IBM computer at Caltech when I went there. Another example is Microsoft Word which makes it possible to write this and other books I have published. Excel makes it possible to create sophisticated Options Trading Software without struggling to use program languages such as Basic. PowerPoint allows me to make briefings using eye-catching colored briefing charts with equations and charts copied from Word and Excel. A third example is Internet which allows me do things on my home computer such as get up-to-date financial news of the US and the World. I can get Options quotes free from the CBOE website. I can send files for the books I write to the publisher by uploading on Internet. The last item I will mention is the class of low cost items made possible by nano-electronics such as Cellphones and Tablet Computers |
