I suspect that by the time an American student reaches college, they may not have need for this online textbook as many are already an Internet super user. But, for the returning or non-traditional student, it may just help them get up to speed and learn how the Internet can help them in their studies.
It was written in 2011 and may not be 100% up to date but the chapter on using search engines looks like a great primer that is still relevant. However, I suspect the chapter on cell phones may no longer accurately represent all of the things today’s phones can do. The text is the work of Marsha Du Toit, Anna Malczyk and Jean-Paul Van Belle.
