Description
Perfectly suited for instructors who spend less class time covering computer concepts, "Computer Essentials" provides a brief but complete survey of computers. It is a core concepts book covering hardware, software and information systems concepts, designed for business and non-business students, and oriented towards future computer users. The second edition includes many new content and pedagogical features. Since many students use their texts differently, the authors have added subject cross-referencing to allow students to easily refer to earlier definitions. In response to changes in communication technology, Internet addresses for additional information on key topics have been included in the instructor's guide. And to reflect the increasing impact of networks and interfaces, this new edition includes greater coverage of multimedia and connectivity.
