About
In this introduction, John A. Haynes, noted computer systems analyst, begins by citing the tremendous growth of the use of computers in homes and educational institutions during the past few years. Computer instruction begins at an early age in many schools, and the child who has a basic grasp of computer terminology, how computers over those who are unfamiliar with the computer revolution.
"BIT", "BYTE", "FLOPPY DISK", "RAM" and "ROM" are strange sounding words and phrases that might be meaningless to some children, but to a child who goes through this introduction with Mr. Haynes, those "FUNNY WORDS" (along with many others), become the building blocks on which to understand what's happening with computers. Hardware (the various components of the computer), software (the programs that make a computer do what you want it to), the memory system, outboard or "PERIPHERAL" computer equipment, and many other aspects of computers are explained and defined in an orderly, logical manner.
INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTERS FOR CHILDERN is designed to instruct and motivate children an provide them with access to the ever expanding and ever more essential world of the computer.
