Considerthissentence:“Computersareeverywhere.”Doesitsoundlikeanover
statement? No matter how we perceive the impact of computers, the
statement is true. Computers are
everywhere.Infact,wecanfindtheminsomeprettyunlikelyplaces,includingou
rcar,our
homeappliancesendeveninsomealarmclocksandotherelectronicdevicesweu
se.Inthe past two decades, computers have reBAPYed our lives at home,
work or school. The vast
majorityofbusinessesnowusecomputerizedequipmentinsomewayandmostc
ompanies are networked both internally and externally. Employees who
once had little use for technology now interact with computers almost every
minute of the workday. It therefore becomes essential for all business
graduates to understand how this machine works and
moreimportantlyhowtouseitintheirprofessionallivesinthenearfuture.Thekn
owledge and skills that one gains from the course should pay dividends in
the future, as computers become even more common at home and atwork.
Thecoursebeginswithabasicoverviewoffundamentalslikethemanytypesofc
omputers in use today and why people use them. As our knowledge grows
we shall realize that all computers are basicallysimilar.
Like any machine, a computer is a collection of parts which are categorized
according to
theworktheydo.Weshalllearnaboutthesevariousfamiliesofcomputercompo
nentsand how these work together and allow us to interact with the system.
We shall discover the importance of software, without which a computer
could do nothing. We shall also realize that the user is an essential part of
a complete computersystem.
When PCs first appeared in businesses, programs were designed for a
single user. As computers spread throughout businesses, developers began
offering complex software designed for multiple users. Data
communications- the electronic transfer of information
between computers- became a major focus of the computer industry. This
demand for networks has increased as businesses have realized the value
of networking. By interconnecting many individual networks into a
massive single network, people around the world can share information as
though they were across the hall from one another.The Internet is an
example of one such network as is possibly the single largest network in
existencetoday.
We have seen that hardware alone does not do much of anything. The work
that hardware or operating system can do on its own is very limited.
Application software specially the office productivity suite shifts this focus
from computer to humans. The course shallfocus on trying to teach some
the basic functionalities of the most commonly used productivity software
