Opis

Computers communicate globally via satellite or fiber optic links, wide area networks share resources thousands of miles away, and the average home can have the capacity of access information at the push of a button - the digital information age has arrived Several technologies have made this computer age possible, helped it grow, and affected its dynamics over time.
