Book Description
"Our lives have been dominated by technology. Yet most people can't define basic tech terms and don't really understand how computers work. This book defines all modern tech terms and explains how the machines and devices that saturate our everyday life work exactly. But here's the important part: the explanations in this book are written simply and in a way that the average person can understand. With over 100 chapters, you'll remove the confusions associated with modern-day technology, and gain answers to questions you may not even know you had, including: How do computers work? What is the difference between the internet and world wide web? What is the history of modern devices, and how did we arrive here? How do screens display images? How does Wi-Fi work exactly? What does the 4G at the top right of most cell phones mean? What makes a computer or device fast or slow? What is cryptocurrency and bitcoin? What does the https at the beginning of every website mean? What is coding? And much, much more. This book could also be called The Manual for Operating in Modern Society. It will move you from a point of mystery to deep knowledge of, and thereby causation over, today's technology"--

Surviving Your Stupid, Stupid Decision to Go to Grad School
Author: Adam Ruben
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0307589455
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
This is a book for dedicated academics who consider spending years masochistically overworked and underappreciated as a laudable goal. They lead the lives of the impoverished, grade the exams of whiny undergrads, and spend lonely nights in the library or laboratory pursuing a transcendent truth that only six or seven people will ever care about. These suffering, unshaven sad sacks are grad students, and their salvation has arrived in this witty look at the low points of grad school. Inside, you’ll find: • advice on maintaining a veneer of productivity in front of your advisor • tips for sleeping upright during boring seminars • a description of how to find which departmental events have the best unguarded free food • how you can convincingly fudge data and feign progress This hilarious guide to surviving and thriving as the lowliest of life-forms—the grad student—will elaborate on all of these issues and more.
