Written for GCSE courses in computer studies, this text follows an approach which places emphasis on the applications, uses and social implications of IT. The book aims to provide a comprehensive coverage of the subject while at the same time presenting a picture of the world of computing. The practical component of the GCSE syllabus is provided for by activities in which the reader is guided, step-by-step, through a problem. Such problem-solving tasks provide the opportunity of learning through hands-on experience how computers are used outside and beyond the classroom.
