Overview

What we can do today with computers was not possible a few decades ago. As the price versus computing power of desktop computers became reasonable, using a desktop computer for everyday use has become possible for everyone. There was a time when there wasn’t much internet speed and computing power to do much like HD gaming and video streaming, which have become as easy as pie these days. That’s why this book was written in such a way that it will give overall knowledge about today’s computer technology and how it can be used for education . This book contains all the fundamentals related to computer hardware and software that could be useful for almost anyone who is interested in learning computers. However, the last chapter of this book is mainly for students and teachers. The last chapter gives information about using various types of apps and internet resources for doing homework and teaching.
