I have learned a lot about Internet Computing. This book gives a step-by-step, detailed explanation for how all parts of the internet works. It has shown me lots that I didn't know and it has elaborated on the things I already knew something about. Good buy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Good introductory book to the workings of the internet, BUT... *by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2021* Could use an update. Things like 'How Blackberrys deliver email' should be dropped in favor of more relevant technology. Something like, 'How Iphones deliver email' would be good, for starters. And while there is an explanation for 'how online shopping works', why isn't there an explanation about how the underlying technology works? For example, how does HTTPS and SSL work? Similarly, while there is a discussion on the FTP protocol, BUT, for the most part, simple FTP has fallen out of favor for more secure protocols, such as Secure FTP or SFTP. Additional suggestions include - how 5g works, how cable modem/fiber and other broadband connections work and a comparison of all of the relevant broadband technology would be useful. How apps work would also be a useful addition.To be fair, much of contents of this book is still relevant, the quality/production values are excellent, excellent graphics, it has good, introductory information. VPN, for example, is discussed, It contains good explanations on various threats, but here again, there are things that should be added/updated, such as a discussion on ransomware, for example.My advice would be that if you are looking for a good introduction to the workings of the internet, this is a pretty good, (but not great) choice and the contents/quality, as I've mentioned are rock solid, for its time. Perhaps the author intends to release a revision, but for right now, it's likely that there are similar publications that are available that are more up to date than this one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars and highly recommend it for middle-school level *by D***D on Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2015* If you don't know anything about how the Internet works, read this book and you'll be an expert. It has pictures!!! The book is full of illustrations that almost anyone can understand. I used it to train my grandson, and highly recommend it for middle-school level. Maybe even late grade school! I don't know, those kids WOW me. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/12408843-how-the-internet-works](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/12408843-how-the-internet-works) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
