Features: This book is a follow-up course to the introductory computer course "Fundamentals of Computer Culture." It covers two main parts: microcomputers and network hardware. In addition to traditional desktop PCs, it also introduces multimedia PCs, notebook PCs, and network fundamentals (including the Internet) in separate chapters based on recent developments. The book focuses on applications and emphasizes common foundations, omitting traditional hardware course content like assembly language programming while adding knowledge on hardware selection and usage, making it suitable for a broader audience. This book can be used as a public course textbook for non-computer majors in universities or for computer enthusiasts with high school education or higher for self-study. Each chapter includes exercises, and Appendix A lists suggestions for practical activities for readers to choose from.
