Principles of Information Technology
This resource introduces students and researchers to the fundamentals of information technology using easy-to-understand language that provides both a solid background and a deeper understanding and appreciation of this important and evolving subject.
As a broad field that encompasses many of the key technologies of the early twenty-first century, information technology is poised to remain a major field of study and professional practice for years to come. The field will continue to evolve as new developments in the current technologies are discovered. Information technologies are also highly dependent on human beings who design, operate, and benefit from them.
