Computers for Everyone is written for all who
want to know about computers, learn the basics and take advantage
of the latest technologies in the field of computers and
information technology. It covers the essentials of computer
science and information technology from computer basics to the
advanced topics like Internet, e-mail, WWW, multimedia, virtual
reality and so on. We have explained the functions of the
computers, the various computer peripherals, the working of the
computer and so on. We have included a computer buyer's guide,
which we feel will be useful to people who want to purchase a
computer. The chapters on ergonomics, best working practices and
health are intended to make computing easy, less tiresome and
healthy.
The chapters on computer software and the
various software packages are written to give the readers an
overview of the various software packages and help you in getting
started. The sections on Internet, e-mail, multimedia, virtual
reality, etc. are written to familiarize you with the latest
happenings in the field of computing. The chapters on the
practical applications should give you an idea of how the
computers are used in our day-to-day life. There are two
appendices-Careers in Computers and Suggested Readings. The fist
appendix-Careers in Computers-gives insights into what is in store
for a person who wishes to become a computer professional and what
sort of academic preparation one should make, to become
successful. The second appendix gives a list of reference books,
where the reader can find more information on topics covered in
this book.
