Synopsis
The Internet has entered the lives of Americans in ways that could not have been foreseen twenty years ago when a physicist had the idea of linking all of the world's computers into one big information system. Though it is a great communication tool, the increasing dominance of the Internet has given rise to all kinds of issues, of privacy, profit, and civil rights, to name a few. Author Francha Roffe Menhard discusses these issues, as well as talking about the dangers of cybercrime and taking a look at the future.Book Details
