INTRODUCTION
Computer awareness is very essential nowadays since most of the job related work involves the use of
computers. Many government and private organizations store their important information like no. of
employees, HR policies, attendance, payroll etc., on computers. Computer related questions are asked in every
entrance and competitive examination not only in India but around the world. Therefore one must have the
basic knowledge of computers to get success in life.
Increase your computer literacy level by knowing basic computer knowledge. This E-book contains more than
500 fundamental questions and answers related to computers which includes the history of computers, origin of
Internet, types of network, operating system, parts of computers, functions, computer architecture, etc., which
are generally asked in exams.
