From the Back Cover

Computer Confluence, Fourth Edition, presents computers and information technology on three levels:

• Explanations: Computer Confluence explains what a computer is and what it can (and can't) do; it explains the basics of information technology, from multimedia PCs to the Internet, clearly and concisely.
• Applications: Computer Confluence clearly illustrates how computers and networks can be used as practical tools to access, create, and share information at school, work, and home.
• Implications Computer Confluence puts computers in a human context, illustrating how information technology affects our lives, our world, and our future.
