Computers occupy our attention because they seem to do many things that people do: they manipulate symbols that have meaning; they store information; they answer questions; they participate in the decision-making process; they compute. Computers seem to possess an "intelligence" not found in other machines, and they play an increasingly important role in our society. As responsible citizens, it is important to understand (1) the development of information processing, (2) the basic concepts of computer hardware and software, (3) the social impact of computer usage, and (4) the way in which computers are applied. The purpose of this book is to present information on those topics to those with liberal arts, social science, education, health science, and humanities backgrounds. The book is designed for use in introductory one-semester or one-quarter course. No mathematical or information-processing background is required or assumed; this book can be used without using computers.

One year into Donald Trump’s presidency, the US 2016 presidential election is still being fought by both parties. As the case of Russian hacking and collusion is investigated, and Hillary Clinton desperately attempts to explain “What Happened” to her and why she lost, a more important question, one haunted by shadowy tactics and campaign double-dealing, rings out: What happened to Bernie Sanders? Jared H. Beck, Esq., the lawyer suing the Democratic National Committee and Debbie Wasserman Schultz for collusion and fraud?for conspiring as a whole ...
