The Task

You are a historical researcher. Historical researchers provide specialized research services to individuals or organizations that require specific information. A historical researcher's activities may include advising clients on the nature of the research to be done, creating detailed archives of materials and documents as well as organizing the findings into a useful format.

You have been contracted to investigate and report on how computers have changed over the years. Your job is to collect information on the 3 generations of computers and assemble that information into an interactive Web site that consists of facts, pictures, and information that gives the reader a good overview of how each generation influenced the next generation of computers.

Since you are very thorough in your work, you will also give the reader a bibliography page and a list of resources to explore for further investigation.
