Monash Museum of Computing History
The Monash Museum of Computing History, Monash University is an exciting
visual exploration of computer technology and how it has changed our
lives. The Museum has a display of computer technology ranging from the
first calculating systems to the introduction of computers with memory.
A visit to the Museum highlights how quickly computers have become an
accepted part of our world and forces us to think about the impact they
have had on our society.
