Product Description
The Williams, Using Information Technology, 8th edition utilizes a practical, applied approach to technology. This text is user-focused and has been highly updated including topics, pictures and examples. The Williams text contains less theory and more application to engage students who might be more familiar with technology. Continually published and updated for over 15 years, Using Information Technology was the first text to foresee and define the impact of digital convergence—the fusion of computers and communications. It was also the first text to acknowledge the new priorities imposed by the Internet and World Wide Web and bring discussion of them from late in the course to the beginning. Today, it is directed toward the “Always On” generation that is at ease with digital technology—comfortable with iPhones, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, and the blogosphere—but not always savvy about its processes, possibilities, and liabilities. This 8th edition continues to address the two most significant challenges that instructors face in teaching this course: • Trying to make the course interesting and challenging, and • Trying to teach to students with a variety of computer backgrounds. In addition, this text correlates with Simnet Online for full integration of resources within the Computing Concepts course.

 Easy and Entertaining Book May 19, 2009
Asim Bijarani (Pakistan)
I have used this book when I was student, the first time I saw this book, I was very excited to get easy explanations with the help of vivid colorful illustrations and photos, this book seems like a computer magazine. good color printing on nice semi glossy paper.
The good thing about this book is it's very conceptual book, easy to understand text for a new reader, and its practical theories involves reader throughout.

This is an excellent buy and since it's required for my online computer class it's even better. VERY detailed yet easy to read.
Great for any age. January 8, 2010
Stephen M. Nicklas (Ashville, OH USA)
This book is very well written and simple to read. I know quite a bit about computers and how fast things change with them. I also have many friends and family who have a wide range in knowledge when it comes to computers. I find it very amazing how much information is packed into this book and how simple it allows a person to "learn" while reading. You can choose particular topics to learn more about, or just read the entire book for an all around greater understanding of computers and electronics.
