Advances in information technology are changing the way we record history,
communicate with others, entertain ourselves, and conduct business. As these
increasingly more sophisticated tools and applications have become an integral
part of our personal lives, they have also had a profound impact on larger
aspects of society, in fields as diverse as education, medicine, commerce and
law. To better navigate in this increasingly digital and interdependent world,
it is vital to understand the nature and operation of technical systems as well
as the ethical, cultural and societal issues related to them.

Technology 360 demonstrates how this technology has evolved, transforming life
at home, work and school. Each volume focuses on a particular invention or
device, such as the cell phone or laser technology. Through careful explanations
and insightful analysis, readers will learn about the device?s development, how
it works, its impact on society and likely future uses.
