----------

The book often goes into quite a bit of detail about subjects.  However,
unless I discussed those details in lecture, you should not need to worry
about them for the midterm.

In Chapter 1, for example, the book talks about UPS using something called
a MaxiCode.  However, I did not discuss this in lecture, so you do not
need to know about it.  Likewise, the book mentions a few specific law
enforcement databases (such as the NCAVC), but I did not name them, so
do not worry about them.  In Chapter 3, examples would be the sections on
sound input and sound output.  The book talks about different types of
microphones (unidirectional vs omnidirectional) and speakers with sub-
woofers; I did not talk about any of these, so they will not be on the
test.

For the Technology in Focus section, you only need to know the specific
people and other information we discussed in lecture.  Also, you do not
need to memorize dates; just know general timeframes.  For example, I
would not ask what year the Altair computer was introduced, though I
might ask what decade (the 1970's).
