First sentence: "The networking of computers-a technology more than twenty years old-is substantially impacting individuals and organizations, including government, business, and education."
Description: "This one-of-a-kind, class-tested textbook introduces the possibilities arising from the convergence of computing and communications technologies to students who don't have an information technology background. By combining the appropriate technical detail with illustrative examples, nontechnical issues, review sections, discussion items, and exercises, it empowers students to envision how networked computing applications can support individuals, groups, and organizations.

Whether students are preparing for careers in business, information management, education, law, or public policy, no other book equips them with the broad understanding needed to effectively exploit these powerful technologies."--BOOK JACKET.
