This text is the Beta Edition of a non-majors' introduction to computing that addresses a wide variety of computing concepts and applications, including multimedia and the Internet. This book breaks new ground for the course, in that it reflects the authors' belief that students need to know how to work with digital data and media types (such as text, numbers, graphics, images, sounds, and video, all of which are captured, created, edited and manipulated in a digital environment) and the communications and publishing capabilities of the Internet. The book is directly supported by a World Wide Web site providing more expanded discussions of concepts, tutorials, PowerPoint multimedia presentations, digital data files for browsing and downloading, and links to additional documents and resources.

The book focuses on digital media rather than the customary survey of applications software designed to process these media. In addition to teaching basic computer skills, the authors promote information fluency in which readers gain an understanding of the foundational concepts on which the technology is derived and develop higher-level intellectual capabilities for applying the technology. In the area of data communications and networks, the book has new material on DSL, cable (CATV) modems, and wireless LAN technologies. The book integrates the TCP/IP protocol model with the treatment of client/server applications. New chapters on data security and emerging technologies have been added. Topics include bioinformatics, nanotechnology, quantum computing, and intelligent software agents.

Ken Abernethy and Tom Allen take an entirely fresh look at the introductory computing course, and teach the skills readers need to understand, create, work and communicate using digital media and networks. While most computer users are proficient in word processing, the worlds of image processing, digital sound, multimedia presentations, know-bots, MUDs, and MOOs are undiscovered territory for many. To be able to use these new and interesting capabilities, computer users must achieve a new standard of computer literacy. The computer literacy standard presented in this book is more dynamic and more conceptual than those of the past. The authors show how the computer and its associated devices and networks - or the digital domain - provides a new and fundamental communications paradigm for the twenty-first century.
