What began as an intrepid U.S. Government initiative in the early
1970's has turned into a global way of life. Indeed, with more
than 500 million current users (and counting), the Internet has
revolutionized the way societies function the world over. From
dating and shopping online, to conducting informational research,
to communicating via email, today seemingly everyone uses the
Internet for one purpose or another. How, then, can something so
vast and powerful be defiled by something as trivial as spam?
It's true. The fact remains that despite the leading-edge
technological sophistication fueling the Net, there are still many
related annoyances that complicate and tarnish the Internet
experience. And it doesn't matter if you're a homemaker in search
of a fresh chicken recipe, or a civil engineer researching plans
for a new skyscraper, the problems are the same.
Internet Annoyances understands the universal nature of the
Internet and strives to make its use as stress-free as possible.
This insightful guide shows you how to overcome the most annoying
Internet-related quirks, bugs, and hassles. You'll learn how to
make a seamless connection, thwart would-be hackers, ensure
greater security while surfing, eliminate pop-up ads, maximize
online services, conduct more effective Google searches, better
In addition, Internet Annoyances discusses how to design and host
a personal web site something once thought of as only possible for
the technically gifted. Topics like blogs, domain names, setup,
HTML, fonts, and graphics and are all dissected and analyzed for
easy consumption.
Unlike other books on the subject, Internet Annoyances assumes
readers already possess a working knowledge of the Internet. By
fully recognizing the experience level of today's Internet
culture, author Preston Galla is able to cut immediately to the
chase and not waste time on the more obvious points. Internet
Annoyances, therefore, is a quick read that presents succinct
solutions for the many glitches that still populate the Internet
experience.
