Abstract

We are living in the digital era which our computers can answer almost any question. This era has forced everyone to learn on how to use computers due to their applications and importance in our daily life. In responding to these, Onunga strived to write a book titled Computer Studies as a guideline to students and other learners. In the book, the author discussed computer in five chapters which are introduction to computer, computer hardware, computer software, safe use of computer and an introduction to Windows. The author attempted to put explanation clear through the uses of simple and straight forward English language as well as good arrangements of chapters which builds a base for the next chapter. The main weakness of this book is that the author failed to classify computers and to discuss issues related to causes of data loss as well as sources of virus in computers. Generally, the book is a very good resource for teachers who are teaching computer at secondary schools as well as the university lecturers and students.
