Starting from the huge, bulky machines which filled up entire rooms in the 1940s to the very small ones used today in iPods and digital watches, computers are now a part of everyday life. It is with this in mind that this book was created. As befits a style of learning where children are guided by their own experience rather than being taught what to do, this book is a journey of discovery in which children are introduced to useful ideas and tasks related to information technology. We hope that the knowledge gained from this book by the children, and the enjoyment and satisfaction of the journey itself, will be a source of pride to all!
