Beginning in 1950, when commercial applications of digital technology began to appear, Cortada examines theways different industries adopted new technologies, as well as the ways their innovative applications influenced other industries and the US economy as a whole.

In addition to this account, of computers' impact on industries, Cortada also demonstrates how industries themselves influenced the nature of digital technology. Managers, historians and others interested in the history of modern business will appreciate this historical analysis of digital technology's many roles and future possibilities in an wide array ofindustries. The Digital Hand provides a detailed picture of what the infrastructure of the Information Age really looks like and how we got there.
