  This desktop encyclopedia contains more than 10,000 terms, which are explained accurately and lucidly. There 800 illustrations that are used to show devices and clarify concepts. The expansive, encyclopedic format of the book makes it possible to explain concepts and historical background at whatever length is necessary, as opposed to abbreviated and dictionary definitions. Buzzwords and acronyms are explained and phonetically pronounced, while information on the latest topics and trends in the Internet, graphics, media, and devices is also uncluded. The CD-ROM contains even more definitions (5000 more in the eighth edition) and illustrations than the physical book. The CD text is fully searchable and topics are hyper-linked for quick and easy cross-referencing.
