Great In Its Time

During the decade in which computer use in the USA really blossomed, the 1980s, this was the only book I read on the subject which clearly explained (using an analogy of buckets being filled with water) how the binary (on / off) concept functioned, and was then built-upon to result in functional computing capacity.All the other books on the subject would tell you about "bits," and how Base 2 was used in an of / off fashion in a grid... and would then jump to higher functionality -- which was equivalent to being shown a brick, followed by a photo of a completed house.
