商品描述
It's axiomatic to state that people fear what they do not understand, and this is especially true when it comes to technology. However, despite their prevalence, computers remain shrouded in mystery, and many users feel apprehensive when interacting with them. Smartphones have only exacerbated the issue. Indeed, most users of these devices leverage only a small fraction of the power they hold in their hands.
How Things Work: The Computer Science Edition is a roadmap for readers who want to overcome their technophobia and harness the full power of everyday technology. Beginning with the basics, the book demystifies the mysterious world of computer science, explains its fundamental concepts in simple terms, and answers the questions many users feel too intimidated to ask.
By the end of the book, readers will understand how computers and smart devices function and, more important, how they can make these devices work for them. To complete the picture, the book also introduces readers to the darker side of modern technology: security and privacy concerns, identity theft, and threats from the Dark Web.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
人們害怕自己不理解的事物，這一點是不言而喻的，尤其在科技領域更是如此。然而，儘管電腦已經普及，仍然籠罩在神秘之中，許多使用者在與之互動時感到不安。智慧型手機更是加劇了這一問題。事實上，這些設備的大多數使用者僅利用了它們所擁有的少部分功能。
《事物運作的原理：計算機科學版》是一本為希望克服科技恐懼並充分利用日常科技的讀者提供的指導書。這本書從基礎開始，揭開計算機科學神秘的面紗，以簡單的術語解釋其基本概念，並回答許多使用者感到過於害怕而不敢詢問的問題。
在書籍結束時，讀者將了解電腦和智慧設備的運作方式，更重要的是，如何讓這些設備為自己服務。為了完整呈現，這本書還向讀者介紹了現代科技的陰暗面：安全和隱私問題、身份盜竊以及來自暗網的威脅。
