Summary: "It's axiomatic to state that people fear what they do not understand-this is especially true when it comes to technology. However, despite their prevalence, computers remain shrouded in an air of mystery, and many users feel apprehensive when interacting with them. Smartphones have only exacerbated the issue. Indeed, most users of these devices leverage only a small fraction of the power they hold in their hands. How Things Work: The Computer Science Edition will serve as a roadmap for readers who want to overcome their technophobia and harness the full power of everyday technology. Beginning with the basics, it will demystify the mysterious world of computer science, explain its fundamental concepts in simple terms, and answer the questions many users feel too intimidated to ask. After finishing the book, readers will understand how computers and smart devices function and, more importantly, how they can make these devices work for them. To complete the picture, it will also introduce readers to the darker side of modern technology: security and privacy concerns, identity theft, and threats from the Dark Web"-- Provided by publisher.
