My Opinion:
There is so much information in this book. Very valuable content about everything you need to know about the certain aspects of computers and the internet. The problem is, you really have to be a brand new introduction to the world of computing for it to be useful. That is how basic the information is. Doesn't make it not useful, just not for anyone who has been on the internet or used a computer on a regular basis, even frequently.
I can only recommend this book to people who have never touched a computer.
(2.5/5)
