This text shows "the big picture," covering the whole range of information technologies: sensing devices, processors, display, and communications. In place of the "computer in the box" approach, this text focuses on issues and conflicts. It includes material on fax, modems, networks, remote controls, robotics, expert systems, pollution and traffic controls, and the history of expression as well as cutting-edge information on virtual reality, virtual offices and virtual corporations. The volume offers such features as: examples citing the experience of more than 200 corporations and organizations provide a real-world orientation; four themes - knowledge, organization, society, and careers - appear in each chapter via boxes and critical-thinking questions; separate boxed sections dealing with ethical dilemmas and controversies; and skills development boxes at the end of alternate chapters, focusing on reading, writing and presenting resumes, speeches and reports.

Excellent!,
This review is from: Information Technology: Concepts and Issues, Second Edition (Paperback)
I had to purchase this book for a college course and it was money well spent. The book provides a great introduction to software, hardware, the Internet, and business & communications technology. It also addresses the social and ethical issues surrounding information technology. The book provides several illustrations that made it an easy read.

This review is from: Information Technology: Concepts and Issues, Second Edition (Paperback)
I used this book for a college level computer science course. It was very easy to understand and the graphics were excellent. There are review sections at the end of each chapter.
