''Information and Communication Technology for CCEA GCSE'' (ISBN 0-340-88309-X) is a textbook by Gerry Lynch and Siobhan Matthewson aimed specifically at the CCEA GCSE in ICT. It was published by Hodder Murray in 2005. == Fundamental Errors == Despite being endorsed by CCEA and having been written by a pair of experienced examiners (as stated on the back cover), the book contains a number of basic errors. The list below is not exhaustive, but provides a representative sample. It is not known if the errors are on the part of the authors or editors. * Cache (page 126): there is a confusion between the high-speed variant on RAM, known as CPU cache, and the hard disk web cache used by a web browser * Internet (page 160): the book states 'The Internet is a WAN'. The Wikipedia article on the Internet makes it clear that the Internet is not a single WAN but a collection of WANs * MSN (page 179): while MSN is a collection of internet services, the book confuses this with the Microsoft Messenger service formerly known as MSN Messenger service. It states: "Microsoft designed MSN for instant messaging" * Scanners (page 130): a confusion is shown between an image scanner and a 3D scanner. * USB Bar (page 165): in the context, this probably refers to a USB flash drive, however apart from this text the term is unknown. * Magnetic tape (page 136): it is claimed that Magnetic Tape, in the context of data storage is the same as Digital Audio Tape, which is not strictly correct, as the Wikipedia articles show. * Netscape Navigator: Netscape Navigator is described as a popular web browser, which it had not been for several years before the book was printed. At the time or printing, Internet Explorer had approx 60%-70% of market share and Firefox around 30%-40%. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Information and Communication Technology for CCEA GCSE」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
