Review: start with previous books like that and build your knowledge - helpful in understanding computers Review: Love this book - Love this book. Bought a prior release back in the 90's when I first got into computers. It was SOOOO helpful and written so well. The graphics are perfect. I bought this version for my son. He kept professing how he knew all about computers, when actually, he is just an advanced user. I told him it was like being a racecar driver but not knowing how the car is put together. I am having him read this book over the summer and he is devouring it and having intelligent computer discussions with me. So happy for this book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #351,366 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #29 in PC Hardware #62 in Computer Hardware Design & Architecture #985 in Computer Science (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 305 Reviews | ## Images ![How Computers Work: The Evolution of Technology, 10th Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71GCHJxztBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ start with previous books like that and build your knowledge *by J***S on July 23, 2025* helpful in understanding computers ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this book *by P***E on July 28, 2016* Love this book.

This book and his original book sit on my reference shelf front and center. With all the technology going on in our everyday lives I find a need to understand how things work will help me be a smarter consumer. If my son asks how a tv gets its picture or what type of video card is best or how are spinning hard drives different from solid state drives, etc. I can answer his questions. I picture Mr White's illustrations which really enable me to recall and repeat a concept. Don't be intimidated by the book. You don't have to read it front to back. You can read it section by section or concept by concept. ## Frequently Bought Together - How Computers Work: The Evolution of Technology, 10th Edition - Hacker's Delight - Programming in C (Developer's Library) --- ## 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.in/products/9719685-how-computers-work-the-evolution-of-technology-10th-edition](https://www.desertcart.in/products/9719685-how-computers-work-the-evolution-of-technology-10th-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
