Computer Confluence, Standard

I used this book for my "Introduction to Computers" class during my first college semester. It is easy to understand and covers all topics of computers. It discusses the history of computers, hardware, robotics, artificial intelligence, software, and other computer topics. There are also several funny moments in this book. I highly recommend it.

The Computer Confluence book by Beekman is the perfect companion to the International Baccalaureate course on Technology and it's impact on society. You won't find very in-depth information on any specific subject, but you will find well-written, polished overviews on computing and the many ways computers are used.The text is designed to be mind-provoking and to provide concepts that will survive the status quo of information technology. It is a must-read for anybody who wants a wider perspective on computers and where it is all leading us.Both multimedia sources that come with the book: the website and the CD are very helpful. A variety of university classes list this book as a required text and the review quizzes that follow every chapter will really help your studies.

Computer Confluence is a very useful tool for students who are taking IT courses. It is simple, and provides a range of possible applications in our world. The book is full of examples, quotes, and other very interesting information which not only make the reading more fluent, it certainly makes it more fun. I, as a student who is currently enrolled in the IB program, found this book extremely beneficial. I recommend it to all teachers and students of IT.
