Computers and Internet (English)

Personal computing and the Internet have spawned a revolution in the way people learn, work, do business, socialize, share knowledge, and communicate. Computers have widened the horizons of human creativity in virtually every field, and the Internet has done more to transcend geographic, social, and linguistic borders between people, some might say, than any invention since the printing press. The eShop collection offers practical content on the tools, concepts and applications of computing and the Internet most useful to our shared work in cross-cultural communication. We've also included handbooks and guides to many of the software applications approved for State Department use. The ubiquitous role of computers and the Internet play an important role in STEM education and is a priority for the Department of State, and can be used for EducationUSA advising.
