By August E. GrantJennifer H. MeadowsJennifer Harman Meadows, et al.

New communication technologies are being introduced at an astonishing rate. Making sense of these technologies is increasingly difficult. Communication Technology Update is the single best source for the latest developments, trends, and issues in communication technology. Now in its 10th edition, Communication Technology Update has become an indispensable information resource for business, government, and academia. As always, every chapter has been completely rewritten to reflect the latest developments and market statistics, and now covers mobile computing, digital photography, personal computers, digital television, and electronic games, in addition to the two dozen technologies explored in the previous edition. The book's companion website (www.tfi.com/ctu) offers updated information submitted by chapter authors and offers links to other Internet resources.

Customer Reviews

Very informative!

This book is very informative. It tracks the history and growth of communication technologies up to the year 2005. The topics covered are comprehensive and each chapter is organized into well defined sections, namely: 'background', 'recent developments', 'current status' and 'factors to watch'. Essentially the book is based on "United States" market information. It would be more useful if more international cases reference are included!

Thank you for fast international shipping

Although the chapters were not much updated, the book's content is great. Thank you for fast international shipping.

As up to date as you can get

This book offers an up-to-date "umbrella perspective" of the communication technologies that are currently at work and those that are still in development. Updates to material found in the book are offered on the web. A great introduction to the world of technological developments that will be aiding us in communicating.
