• Computers are one of two great inventions: They supplement and substitution for other info processors, including humans

  • processing, memory, switching, transduction

• Computers are built from other computers in a recursive fashion

• The Transistor/IC is equally important: Mooreís Law defines hardware evolution

• Physical computers are composed of a set of well-defined hardware-software levels

• Cyberization: platforms, network, interface
