Introduction

This book is written for the typical computer user: someone who uses computers for day-to-day activities (browsing the web, sending/receiving email, etc.) and is interested in delving a bit deeper into some of the current technology concepts and terminology.

In contrast to a commercially produced book (where the author and publisher receive a payment for each copy), this book is an open education resource (OER) with a Creative Commons Attribution licence, which allows it to be shared and used at no charge (subject to certain conditions of the particular license).
