Description
"This full-color, illustrated guide to the world of technology assumes nothing and explains how the electronic gear we depend on every day is made possible. In addition to all the content you've come to expect from prior editions, this newly revised edition includes all-new coverage of topics such as: how tablet PCs put the power of a PC quite literally in your hands; how Windows Vista makes your Windows desktop translucent and makes your PC more secure; how advances in optical disc technology such as dual-layer DVD, HD-DVD, and Blu-Ray discs continue to push the envelope; how Apple's new iPhone is revolutionizing what cell phones can do; and how BitTorrent technology enables anyone to share information with everyone"--Jacket
