Computing has changed radically over the past few years and has
readily adopted new technologies, especially, in recent years, in
networking and the Internet. At one time it mainly involved computer

areas, from operating systems and processes to networking and the
Internet. This book tries to cover some of these areas by investigating
most of the key areas of computing.
