Other chapters delve into computer parts from software and hardware to microprocessors and the graphical-user interface (GUI). Other sections cover different kinds of computers, including digital, analog, and hybrid computers, personal computers, Macs, desktops, laptops, notebooks, and personal digital assistants (PDAs), as well as the game designers, programmers, and salespeople who work with computers.

The book also addresses the computer as a homework tool, the importance of computer safety and supervision, networks, servers, and the history of the Internet, including ARPANet, the World Wide Web, and browsers. Full-color photographs, informative diagrams, glossary words in bold, a graphic timeline, and an index enhance this engaging, easy-to-read text about computers, a continually improving everyday invention.
