Communication Technology Update provides students and professionals alike with the latest information in all areas of telecommunication: electronic mass media, computers, consumer electronics, games, satellites, and telephony. A discussion of hardware, software, organizational structure, and political and economic influences is complimented by background information explaining the evolution of each of the technologies.
As always, every chapter has been completely rewritten to reflect the latest developments and market statistics, and now covers digital television, teleconferencing, and electronic games, in addition to the two dozen technologies explored in the previous edition.
Information on similar technologies has been concentrated into a smaller number of chapters to make it easier to compare history, revenues, technical descriptions, and user information across technologies.
The companion website, www.tfi.com/ctu, offers updated information submitted by chapter authors and offers links to other Internet resources.
