In Chapter 2 of "The Computer," Ince describes the Google comparing data with the CDC to track those who are googling symptoms and the spread of illness. I found that idea very interesting and found that tracking information here on the web.

I was very confused by the discussion of binary and memory in chapter 2 of "The Computer." I found this in depth article helpful in understanding the technical language.
