3.0 out of 5 stars Aimed at the beginning user., November 22, 1998
By A Customer
Not a bad book for the beginning computer user. Goes into many aspects of the computer: hardware, software, databases, WWW, programming, etc. Most of the examples are related to the United States and in Basic. Not a bad book if you're taking a beginning computer course in school, but anything after that, there are definately way better books to be had.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great for people who never understood the information age, February 14, 2000
By Jason McGehee (San Diego, Ca.) - See all my reviews
People who want to learn the big picture of the information age without digging to deep with technical details will enjoy this book. The book describes basic concepts of computers and their role in the information age. Plenty of good illustrations and the text is easy to read. Used for intro to computer science classes. However, 3 starts comes from the price vs value of content. Books that are required by schools tend to cost more.
