Spirited professionals who have somehow become familiar with the Internet and other telecommunications networks may want to skip to chapter 3. Other readers may notice that we explain technology only to a degree required to understand the remainder of this book. This chapter does not try to cover the vast world of technology but instead focuses on four general areas: • The two types of telecommunication. • Data. • Transmission channels and devices. • The Internet, with a focus on the World Wide Web.
