Visualizing Technology is a hands-on, visual approach to computer concepts. As students learn skills, they'll either apply them to a project or simulation or dive deeper with a Viz Clip video. Magazine-style chapters provide consistent instruction and active practice with Digital Literacy, Essential Job Skills projects, videos and IT simulations.

The 8th Edition covers a vast range of technology trends affecting modern work environments, such as immersive technologies, Deep and Dark Web, blockchain, artificial intelligence, machine and deep learning.
