From computers to optical communications, this textbook explores the core principles of physics that underlie those technologies that are revolutionizing our everyday lives. Organized into four parts, the first provides an introduction to physics, silicon, and the Internet. The second establishes the basic principles at the core of the information technology revolution. A third sectionexamines the quantum era, with in-depth discussion of digital memory. The final section moves onto the Internet era, covering optical fibers, light amplification, fiber optic and wireless communication technologies. Designed for the nonscientist, this text requires no higher math or prior experience with physics.
