I know these concepts well. In fact if you know how to use a computer effectively, you most likely know the content of this book. I am reading it purely for a course and I am sure tests will include exact phrasing found in here, so I read it.

This was my textbook for the WSU LIS Information Technology class. It's goal was to give readers a solid foundation in the history and concepts of computer information processing. In that respect it did a solid job. Even with my BS in computer science (earned in 1987), there were a number of things that were informational to me.
