A Beginner's Guide to E-Technology and the Internet.
We live in an information age, and the ways in which we store, transmit and review data are changing faster than any of us can keep up with. The thread that links it all, from the minidisk to the internet, is digitisation, but which of us really understands the technology, or where it is heading?
In this accessible, up-to-the-minute guide, popular science writer Jack Challoner explains the basics of binary code, how digital devices work, the impact they are having on our everyday lives, and what developments we can expect to see in the future.
'Essential Science' guides use a stimulating mix of lively illustrations and expert, jargon-free text to explain the most important scientific topics of the day - more clearly than ever before.
