：This textbook is designed for first-year undergraduate students in science and engineering programs, who are taking the "Fundamentals of Information Technology" course. It is based on the "Guidelines for Primary and Secondary School Information Technology Curriculum," focusing on the eight module knowledge education in high school-level information technology. It aims to align the basic computer education in universities with the information technology education in schools. At the same time, it also serves as an introductory guide for computer-related courses for students in their second and subsequent years. Of course, it can also be used as a self-study reference for upper-level non-engineering students and mid-level professionals working in computer technology. It makes your business soar! Without Information Technology (IT), the snowboard on the cover simply would never make it to the slopes. As you read Introduction to Information Technology, you'll discover that IT integrates and enhances all functions of a business—from the research and development that goes into designing a faster, more flexible board, to the delivery systems that ensure stores receive stock in time for winter, to the point-of-sale systems that track sales trends and customers' buying preferences. Written in language you can easily understand, the text gradually presents complex technical information on a need-to-know basis, so that you won't get overwhelmed by the details. Each chapter is filled with dozens of real-world examples that demonstrate IT's relevance to different disciplines, industries, and companies.
