It provides a strong foundation by giving you the background you need to make smart buying decisions about computer technology. It then presents a description of the hardware that is the foundation of all of the technologies you use every day, whether it’s a laptop, personal computer, smartphone, or other digital device. From there, it explains how the Internet actually works. PC Basics with Windows® 7 and Office 2010 then guides you through engaging, step-by-step tutorials on how to use the Windows 7 operating system and the popular Office 2010 productivity tools including Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. These are tools that you will use every day in school, at work, and in your personal life. The book is written in a conversational and engaging style. Chapter Topics and Key Words at the beginning of each chapter let you know what to look for as you read through each chapter. “Notes,” “Tips,” and “Warnings” are provided in the margin to highlight important issues as you move through the various topics. At the end of each chapter, there are review questions, and a project that lets you apply what you have learned.
