This textbook provides the important IT information that college students will need in their professional life, relevant information on new communications and media technologies, and poignant information on information security, social and global trends and concerns. Tons of examples have been included to reinforce the relevance of the content. Audio study guides for the iPod and high-quality PPT presentations are provided at the author's own Web site. I received the book within 3 days, exactly as I wanted it. The service was quick and the textbook that I got was in good conditions although it was used.
