Summary

Always current, always innovative  
Visualizing Technology provides a hands-on, highly visual approach to computer concepts whereby you learn a skill and then either apply it to a project or simulation or watch a Viz Clip video to dive deeper. Each magazine-style chapter has a consistent approach of instruction, active practice with Digital Literacy and Essential Job Skills projects, and videos and IT simulations. The 9th edition covers a vast range of technology trends affecting modern work environments, such as immersive technologies, Deep and Dark Web, blockchain, artificial intelligence, and machine and deep learning.
