Computers in Our World by Lisa Strite Jedlicka (2003, Paperback)

Computers in Our World, 2nd Edition, has been completely updated to meet the needs of today?s learners. This text emphasizes application of technical knowledge rather than the individual components of systems, with all nine chapters revised and current. This brief title will keep you engaged and increase the relevancy of computers in your everyday life.

Computer programmers and software developers are employed in nearly every industry in the United States. The computer systems design and related services industry is projected to be among the fastest-growing industries in the economy over the 2006 to 2016 period. Computer technology is constantly changing, and there is always demand for skilled, knowledgeable workers who can keep up with new programs, practices, and equipment. Because computer use is so pervasive, it is possible for programmers to find opportunities in almost any field of interest.Computers and Programming covers all the ground professionals need to find the path to career success. Including handy tidbits of information and statistics, emerging industry trends, a breakdown of key jobs, and much more, this new guide also provides an overview and history of this industry. Written with an insider's perspective, this guide also includes a glossary of industry jargon and a directory of industry resources.

In 1957 Sputnik, the world’s first man-made satellite, dazzled people as it zipped around the planet. By the beginning of the twenty-first century, more than eight thousand satellites orbited the Earth, and satellite practices such as live transmission, direct broadcasting, remote sensing, and astronomical observation had altered how we imagined ourselves in relation to others and our planet within the cosmos. In Cultures in Orbit, Lisa Parks analyzes these satellite practices and shows how they have affected meanings of “the global” and “the televisual.” Parks suggests that the convergence of broadcast, satellite, and computer technologies necessitates an expanded definition of “television, ” one that encompasses practices of military monitoring and scientific observation as well as commercial entertainment and public broadcasting.Roaming across the disciplines of media studies, geography, and science and technology studies, Parks examines uses of s

There's a hidden science that affects every part of your life, a science so powerful that you would be hard-pressed to find a single human being on the planet unaffected by its achievements. It is the science behind computers, the machines which drive the supply and creation of power, food, medicine, money, communication, entertainment, and most goods our stores. It has transformed societies with the Internet, the digitization of information, mobile phone networks, and GPS technologies. Written in friendly and approachable language, Digitized provides a window onto the mysterious field from which all computer technology originates, making the theory and practice of computation understandable to the general reader. This popular science book explains how and why computers were invented, how they work, and what will happen in the future. Written by a leading computer scientist, Peter J. Bentley, it tells this fascinating story using the voices of pioneers and leading experts interviewed for the book, in effect throwing open the doors of the most cutting-edge computer laboratories. Bentley explores how this young discipline grew from the early work by pioneers such as Turing, through its growth spurts in the Internet, its difficult adolescent stage where the promises of AI were never achieved and dot-com bubble burst, to its current stage as a semi-mature field, capable of remarkable achievements. Packed with real-world examples, Digitized is the only book to explain the origins and key advances in all areas of computing: theory, hardware, software, Internet, user interfaces, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence. If you have an interest in computers--whether you work with them, use them for fun, or are being taught about them in school--this book will provide an entertaining introduction to the science that's changing the world.
