Materi perkuliahan akan dibagi menjadi tiga bagian. Bagian pertama fokus pada variasi terminal yang tersedia, kebanyakan digunakan untuk masukan dan keluaran. Bagian kedua menyajikan perangkat untuk memasukkan data menggunakan source-data automation – dalam kata lain, data dimasukkan menuju komputer secara langsung dari sumber, tanpa perlu manual data entry. Bagian ketiga mendeskripsikan perangkat yang digunakan untuk keluaran semata.
We are in transition from an industrial society to an information society. The force driving this transition are the computer and the people who strive to exploit its seemingly endless capabilities in their work and in their leisure. The chapters offer an overview of information technology and applications (special: interfacing and peripheral). Once you have read and understood the material in this text and have had hands-on experience with computers, you will be poised to play an active role in the “computer revolution”.
The layout and organization of the text and its content are designed to present concepts in an interesting, logical, and informative manner, and to be used as a reference for the reinforcement of classroom lectures.
