If you have spent time in the technology industry you will agree with me this book lacks an identity. The poor articulation of technology and the miss use of terms like "memory" is shameful. Additionally the blending of its shoe horned surface level business acumen serves more as an avenue for people to laugh at you in a business meeting than it does teaching you anything meaningful. The entire book feels like it was written to fill a niche for schools and to rob students of money that would be better spent on a book labeled technology for dummies. If you have to waste your life in this class then best of luck to you but if not then give yourself a present and take a class that matters.
