Customer Reviews

Recommeded Book

I completely agree with Midwest Book Review's review! Wonderful reference book to help anyone better understand a broad variety of computer/internet concepts. Book would be a great gift for someone who needs additional knowledge on a new digital product/service. For example, this book helped my mother understand why she was offered a lower price on her airline tickets after I deleted her cookies; the website was increasing the price as she repeatedly viewed the same ticket!

As easy to use as it is informed and informative

The impressive and highly recommended collaborative work of Mary Ann Bell (Assistant Professor of Library Sciences, Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas); Mary Ann Berry (Associate Professor/Chairman, Department of Library Sciences, Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas); and James L. Van Roekel (Director of Academic Instructional Technology and Distance Learning, Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas) Internet And Person Computing Fads is a seminal A-to-Z reference presented in a straightforward, accessible style that will make it essential for academic library collections and welcome utility for non-specialist general readers with an interest in the subject matter covered. From artificial intelligence, to the "Mac vs. PC" debate; to commonly used abbreviations, to distance learning, and so much more, Internet And Personal Computing Fads is as easy to use as it is informed and informative.
