Seventeen high tech topics are individually discussed in Part 1. Part 2 presents an overview of principles and concepts basic to high-tech industry. Part 3 briefly describes bar coding, computer-aided design and other entities that are integral parts of high tech systems and devices, or function as stand-alone units. Each entry contains a basic description of the topic, real world applications, historical background, detailed description, future applications, and suggested books, articles, and other publications for further reading.
