Computers are common in homes, schools, and businesses throughout the world. In this book, readers will learn about setting up their computer system and connecting multiple computers in a network. Students will gain an understanding of how small networks, such as those within a home, work. They'll also see how large networks, used by business and schools, operate--sometimes across long distances! With a focus on STEM concepts from the Next Generation Science Standards, this book makes understanding how to connect a computer system easy--

We live in an increasingly interconnected society. Advancements in technology are enabling us to connect even more. However, there are still people around the world who are unable to utilize the amazing power of technology due to disabilities, remote locations, or the inability to afford certain devices. An important and interesting question faces the tech industry: How can we make computing devices available to everyone? In this book, students will read about changes in tech that are making computing devices more affordable, more durable, and more accessible for everyone on Earth.

People today use their computers, smartphones, and tablets to store an increasing amount of personal information. Sometimes, people don't even realize they're sharing private information on websites and social media networks. Luckily, digital security is improving every day. Unfortunately, cybercriminals' hacking skills are also improving, which makes knowing how to protect your personal information in this digital age vital. This book examines what information readers may be sharing online and explains how they can protect this information and what might happen if they don't.

For people outside the tech industry, data mining and data analysis are often misunderstood processes. They're more involved than simply retrieving data from a database and sorting through it. Readers will learn how and where data is stored, how we're able to find patterns within this data, and how these patterns help us make predictions. The accessible text is supplemented with full-color images and helpful diagrams to help students understand how data mining and analysis work. STEM concepts from the Next Generation Science Standards are also covered throughout.
