Understanding the way
computers organize information is one of the most fundamental aspects
of computer literacy and proficiency. As you learn more and more about
different software packages throughout the quarter, it will make your
life much easier if you spend the time now developing a strong
understanding of where you fit into the grand scheme of cyberspace.
