The Hutchinson Dictionary of Computing, Multimedia and the Internet

Using a computer can no longer be considered the province of the experts. The prices of computers continue to tumble and sophisticated software comes free as standard issue, but how many people know how to use what is available? even though children take to computers without thinking twice, many people, even those who use computers in a limited way, shy away from learning any more. The manual produced by manufacturers do not usually help and are often even more confusing than the machines themselves. This text is published to help cut through to the most useful information needed. All the essential terms are explained and the text is enhanced with illustrations throughout.
