Your All-in-One Guide to the Digital World.
Technology touches our lives in many different ways. In this book, we will explore the common uses of technology in the world around you, demystify the concepts, and explain its usage.
The book begins by making you comfortable with your Windows PC and Android Smartphone/Tablet. It discusses the Internet and common device connections. It also delves into popular productivity applications like emails, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, maps, photos, music, and videos. Usage of free apps from Google is demonstrated. The book also talks about social media and online tools which allow you to connect and communicate with people on the Internet, with examples from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The different facets of e-commerce are discussed as well, namely, payments, online shopping, tracking, reviews, and online travel booking, along with examples from popular shopping and travel websites. It explores newer trends like cloud computing, media players, and voice assistants. Security and privacy best practices are also covered for each topic.
There are numerous books dedicated to each of the topics that we will discuss in this guide that can help you understand that topic in detail. My objective in this book is not to make you an expert on any of these topics. The objective is to introduce the key concepts related to each topic, explain how things are related, and to get you to a beginner/intermediate level of usage. To give an analogy, it’s like providing you with a 30,000 feet view of the ground; the kind you see when you’re on an airplane. You can see the different buildings and the roads that connect them and some basic features of the buildings. But you may not see every detail of the buildings like how many doors and windows they have or what each room in those houses looks like. To simplify some of the concepts and accommodate all these topics in a single guide, I will be making some compromises with respect to comprehensiveness.
This book is an attempt to break down the barriers that stand between you and the digital world and enable you to embrace technology. By the end of this book, you’ll find yourself more tech-savvy than you were when you started.
