3.0 out of 5 stars Watch the Errors, June 12, 2002

By	L. Manchester "Professor M." (Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Computer Confluence: Exploring Tomorrow's Technology (4th Edition) (Paperback)

I have taught computer courses for over ten years and have used all four editions of Computer Confluence. This book has at least a half a dozen errors which I have pointed out to the publisher. None were corrected. I have seen the 5th Edition and the errors are still there. Buyer be ware. If the instructor can point out these errors to the students the book is quite useful. It is not suited to self-paced learning without a qualified instructor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly organized and easy to use., March 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Computer Confluence: Exploring Tomorrows Technology (Paperback)

Computer Confluence is a very useful tool for students who are taking IT courses. It is simple, and provides a range of possible applications in our world. The book is full of examples, quotes, and other very interesting information which not only make the reading more fluent, it certainly makes it more fun. I, as a student who is currently enrolled in the IB program, found this book extremely beneficial. I recommend it to all teachers and students of IT.

4.0 out of 5 stars Information Technology in a Global Society, September 4, 2000

By	Ven (Int'l School of Tanganyika, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Computer Confluence : Exploring Tomorrow's Technology (Paperback)

The Computer Confluence book by Beekman is the perfect companion to the International Baccalaureate course on Technology and it's impact on society. You won't find very in-depth information on any specific subject, but you will find well-written, polished overviews on computing and the many ways computers are used.

The text is designed to be mind-provoking and to provide concepts that will survive the status quo of information technology. It is a must-read for anybody who wants a wider perspective on computers and where it is all leading us.

Both multimedia sources that come with the book: the website and the CD are very helpful. A variety of university classes list this book as a required text and the review quizzes that follow every chapter will really help your studies.
