Computers all around us (Paperback, New ed)

An introduction to the world of computers for young readers, this text considers the role of technology in their everyday lives. It is part of a series which covers what computers are, what they do, how they have developed, how they work and what we use them for. Examples are used and complex concepts are explained through age-appropriate language. Approached very much from the child's point of view, the series aims to provide substantial background information about technology, but also to demonstrate how technology affects our lives in ways that we might take for granted or not recognise.
