Visualizing Technology provides you with a hands-on, highly visual approach to computer concepts. As you learn new skills, you'll apply them to projects or IT simulations or watch Viz Clip videos to dive deeper. The text's magazine-style chapters offer consistent instruction and active practice with Digital Literacy, Essential Job Skills projects and engaging videos.

The 10th Edition covers a vast range of technological trends affecting modern workplaces, such as Blockchain, digital currency, NFTs, Metaverse, quantum computing, immersive technology and IoT hacks.
