zYour knees should be slightly higher than your hips. If necessary, use a foot
rest to raise your knees.
zSet the back of your chair so that it supports the lower part of your spine.
zPut the computer so that sunlight or bright indoor light does not reflect off
the screen and hurt your eyes.
zIf possible, use soft, indirect lighting in your computer work area.
zChange your position often. If you use a computer for a long time, stand up
and stretch your wrists, hands, and legs regularly.
zEvery fifteen or twenty minutes, look at an object that is far away, to avoid
hurting your eyes with too much close work.
zTake frequent short breaks (for example, two or three minutes every half
hour) instead of one or two long breaks.
Types of Computers
Computers come in various sizes and with different capabilities. They may
be classified into several categories, including supercomputers, mainframe,
server, desktop, laptop (notebook), netbook, and palmtop computers,
according to their size and functions. Computers that are designed to be used
by a person are usually called personal computers (PC). Laptop, netbook,
and palmtop computers are designed for mobile use. Mobile devices can be
used away from a power outlet using a rechargeable battery. Laptop and other
mobile devices are also called portable computers.
Supercomputers
Supercomputers are the fastest computers
on earth. Supercomputers are very expensive
and are used for specialized applications
that need huge amounts of mathematical
calculations. For example, weather forecasting
requires a supercomputer. Other uses of
supercomputers include animated graphics,
fluid dynamic calculations, nuclear energy
research, and petroleum exploration.
The main difference between a supercomputer
and a mainframe is that a supercomputer uses
all its power to execute a few programs as
quickly as possible whereas a mainframe uses
its power to execute many programs at the
same time for multiple users.
The supercomputers of the past eventually
become the personal computers of today.
Therefore, your home PC most likely has more
computing power than many supercomputers
from previous decades.

Servers
Servers are expensive, powerful, dependable, and dedicated computers. A
server provides services to all the computers or terminals that are connected
to it. Applications are stored in this computer, and the other computers
(terminals) connected to it can access them. There are different types of
servers depending on the tasks they perform. For example a domain server is
responsible for managing network (domain) resources. It stores user account
information, authenticates users, and enforces security policy for a domain.
Web servers are computers that deliver (serve up) web pages. A database
server stores the databases and processes database queries. An FTP
server is dedicated to storing files. Any user on the network can upload and
download files on the server.

A mouse is a pointing input device. It is used to select any item on the screen.
It is also used to draw figures on the computer. A typical mouse has two
buttons with a scroll wheel between the buttons. The left mouse button is the
primary button. It is usually used for selecting or dragging the object, opening
windows, and running programs. The right mouse button is the secondary
button. It is usually used for opening pop-up menus and properties window.
The scroll wheel helps you scroll through documents and web pages easily.
You can perform many actions with a mouse. Mouse actions are context
sensitive; clicking an icon on the desktop selects it, but clicking a hyperlink in
a webpage opens the related webpage.

A touch screen is a kind of computer display that enables the user to interact
with the computer by touching on the screen. Touch screen computers are
able to receive input from the
movement of your finger on
the screen. Instead of using
a pointing device such as a
mouse, you can use your finger
to point directly to objects on
the screen.

Output devices acquire digital signals from the computer and convert them
into a format that users can understand. A monitor can display information,
a speaker creates sound waves, and a printer can output a hard copy of
documents. Output devices include a monitor, printer, plotter, and speaker.
28
Monitor
The computer screen is called a monitor. It is the most
common output device and looks like a TV screen. A
monitor is also known as a VDU (visual display unit). While
your computer is doing all the work, the monitor displays
the results to you. A monitor comes in different sizes, such
as 15, 17, 19, and 21 inches (1 inch = 2.54 cm). For the
monitors, the size defines the distance between cross
corners. There are different types and sizes of monitors.

zInkjet Printers: Inkjet printers are the most common type of consumer printers.
As the paper is fed through the printer, the print head moves back and forth,
spraying thousands of very tiny drops of ink onto the paper. Inkjet printers are
ideal for people who want to print small numbers of high quality copies where
speed is not important (for example, in the home or small office). However,
refilling the inkjet cartridges a few times will often cost more than the printer.

Speaker
A Speaker converts digital signals into audio output that can be heard by the
listeners. The speakers receive audio input from a device such as a computer
or an audio receiver. Speakers range widely in quality and price. On average,
speakers have two plastic colons and medium sound quality. Some computer
speakers have equalization features such as bass and treble controls.

Storage Devices
All computer systems require saving the data permanently. Before you turn
your computer off, the documents you have been working on need to be
saved for future use. Storage devices handle the save and retrieve data
operations.
There are different types of storage devices. Magnetic storage devices store
the data on a magnetized surface whereas optical storage devices use lasers
to store and retrieve data. Hard disks, floppy diskettes, magnetic tape, and zip
disks are all magnetic storage devices. The most common optical devices are
compact discs (CD) and digital versatile discs (DVD). USB flash drives use a
totally different technology.
32
Hard Disk
Hard disks are the main large data storage
area inside your computer. Hard disks are
used to store your programs and data.
They are much faster than most other
types of storage devices and can also hold
much more data (up to 2 Terabytes). Unlike
RAM, which is volatile, the hard disk can
hold information forever, with or without
electricity.
When a hard disk is manufactured, the
platters are empty, so your computer
cannot read them. The process of creating
the tracks and sectors on the platters
and preparing the disk for use is called
formatting. If you imagine the hard disk
as an enormous piece of blank paper,
formatting is just like dividing it into pages
and drawing vertical and horizontal lines
in order to read and write the information
easily. The process of formatting a drive
creates the tracks and sectors on the
platter, writes special file storage structures
onto the sectors, and prepares the drive to
hold blocks of bytes.
The read/write disk head reads the data
from and writes it to the platter magnetically.
The hard disk platters spin under the disk
head, which enables the read and write
operations. The platters are spun at speeds
varying from 3,000 RPM (revolutions per
minute) in energy-efficient portable devices
to 15,000 RPM for high performance
servers.

Floppy Diskette
Floppy diskettes are old fashioned data storage and transfer technology.
They are almost not used anymore. Compared to hard disks or CD-ROMs,
they are very slow and hold a smaller amount of data (1.44 megabytes).
Until approximately 2005, most desktop and laptop computers were supplied
with floppy diskette drives; however, most recent equipment has abandoned
floppy diskette drives in favor of USB ports.

Magnetic Tape
Magnetic tape has been used for data storage for more than 50 years. The
device that performs actual writing or reading of data is a tape drive. Magnetic
tape can provide only sequential access to data, which makes it inefficient
in terms of access time to data. On the contrary, when storing and retrieving
sequential large amounts of data, tape can be substantially less expensive
than disk or other data storage options. Modern usage is primarily as a
high capacity medium for backups and archives where speed is not needed
and cost is low. Tape storage has always been used with large computer
systems. As of 2011, the highest capacity tape cartridges can store is 5 TB of
uncompressed data.
-
Zip Disk
The Zip disk is a medium-capacity removable disk storage system. Originally,
Zip disks were launched with 100 MB capacities, but later versions increased
to 750 MB. Zip drives fell out of favor for mass portable storage during the
early 2000s, mainly due to the decreasing costs of rewriteable CDs and DVDs.
In addition, USB flash drives with much larger capacities became a common
form of storing data and transferring media among computer users.

Blu-ray, also known as a Blu-ray Disc (BD), is the name of a new optical
disc format that offers more than five times the storage capacity of traditional
DVDs. A blu-ray disc can hold up to 25 GB on a single-layer disc and 50 GB
on a dual-layer disc. Although current optical disc technologies such as DVD,
DVDR, DVDRW, and DVD-RAM rely on a red laser to read and write data,
the new format uses a blue-violet laser instead, so the name blu-ray is inspired
by the technology used in blu-ray discs. Blu-ray discs have the highest storage
capacity of all optical discs. They can store data up to 128 GB.

Operating Systems
An operating system is a piece of software that controls how hardware
resources such as memory, the central processing unit (CPU), disk space,
and other devices are used. Applications need the operating system because
they need to use these hardware resources. The purpose of an operating
system is to organize and control hardware and software so that the device in
which it lives behaves in a flexible but predictable way. Think of an operating
system as an orchestra conductor who makes sure that all parts of your
computer, hardware, and programs work together.

User Interface
The way in which the user of a computer communicates with the machine
is called the user interface (UI). User interfaces of operating systems can be
classified into two groups: graphical user interface (GUI) and command line
user interface.
Graphical user interfaces (GUI): The user interacts with the computer by
means of a mouse or any other pointing device that moves the pointer (or
cursor) on the screen. It allows the user to select and activate icons, menus,
and dialog boxes representing different programs, files, and options.
Command line user interfaces (CUI): The user gives commands by typing the
necessary text with the computer keyboard, and the system provides output
by printing text on the computer monitor. A command-line interface does not
use images or graphical menus. Systems with command-line interfaces often
seem more difficult to learn and use than systems with graphical interfaces.

Folders
A folder is a container used to organize the files and subfolders. Every file
and folder is stored in a parent folder except the root directory, which is the
top-most folder in the folder hierarchy in a partition. Formatting a disk or
partition automatically creates a root directory, such as C:\.

Folder Structure

In some ways, a library is similar to a folder. For example, when you open a
library, you'll see one or more files. However, you cannot store files or folders
in a library. This is a subtle, but important, difference. In libraries, you can
include folders from different locations so that you can see the files in one
place. This is a good way to keep your files organized so that you do not have
to search multiple locations to find what you are looking for.

Managing Disks
Disks are storage devices for computers. They are used to store files and
folders. You can copy and erase data on a disk any number of times. Disks
keep storing data even when the computer is turned off. A new disk, called a
blank disk, has no data on it. Before you can store data on a blank disk, you
must create partitions and format them.
A partition is a part of one physical hard drive that is made to behave as if it
is a hard drive itself. Some computers have hard disks that are partitioned as
a single partition. Any operating system may recognize and use partitions of
various types of disks. The partition concept is system-wide and not limited to
a particular operating system.
Each partition should be formatted and assigned a drive letter before use.
Hard disks in new computers running Windows are already formatted. A
partition is called a volume after formatting. Volume is the term used to
describe a single accessible storage area with a single file system. Windows
7 maps drive letters to volumes and, in this sense, a volume is any entity that
has a drive letter mapped to it, like C:.
When a new hard drive is formatted, a bootable partition is created. This is
the partition where the operating system is installed. Formatting a hard drive
requires selecting a file system that will be used on the drive. The file system
is what the operating system uses to organize and locate information that is
written to various sectors on the hard disk. The default file system of Windows
7 is NTFS (New Technology File System).
Chapter 2: Operating Systems
69
File Systems
Conduct a search to identify the different types of file systems (FAT, FAT32, NTFS, ext4, LTFS, CDfs,
UDF, etc.) and their advantages and drawbacks.
Windows 7 has a Disk Management system utility tool to manage disks. You
can extend or reduce disk size, create additional partitions, delete partitions,
format partitions, and change the drive letter among other things with this
all-in-one system tool. Only the administrator users can access the Disk
Management tool.
To start the Disk Management tool, type Disk Management in the Run box
and press the Enter key. You can also access the Disk Management Tool in
the Computer Management window. To open the Computer Management
window, right-click the Computer icon and select Manage from the shortcut
menu.
Partitions
Suppose that you have a PC with a 500 GB single hard disk. Decide the number of partitions and
their sizes that will meet your needs best.
Formatting a Partition
Installing a new hard drive for the first time, removing errors from your hard
drive, trying to get rid of a virus, or even erasing all data from your hard disk
are some of the reasons why you might need to format a partition.
To Format a Partition:
Step 1: Right-click the partition you wish to format in the Computer window.
Step 2: Choose Format from the pop-up menu.
Step 3: Select the file system (NTFS is recommended) and click the Format
button.
Shrinking a Partition
You can decrease the space used
by a partition by shrinking them
into adjacent, contiguous space on
the same disk. For example, if you
discover that you need an additional
partition but do not have additional
disks, you can shrink the existing
partition to create new unallocated
space that can be used for a new
partition.
When you shrink a partition, any
ordinary files are automatically
relocated on the disk to create the
new unallocated space. There is no
need to reformat the disk to shrink
the partition.
Shrinking a Volume
71
Disk Defragmentation
Fragmentation occurs when a system cannot or will not allocate enough
contiguous disk space to store an entire file as a unit. Instead, it puts parts of
it in gaps between other files (usually those gaps exist because they formerly
held a file that the operating system has subsequently deleted or because
the file system allocated excess space for the file in the first place). The file
system must then maintain some kind of file system structure to keep track of
where all the related file pieces are stored and consequent performance loss.
Defragmentation attempts to alleviate these problems. It increases access
speed by rearranging files stored on a disk to occupy contiguous storage

Introduction
Word processing is the ability to create text and format it so it looks appealing
by using different fonts, fancy characters, formatted paragraphs, and possibly
other features not found in classic text editors. Word processing has replaced
the electric typewriter as the most efficient way to create and edit text
documents.
The word processor software is much more than a simple typewriter. It
creates documents just like a typewriter, but it can do much,
much more. It automates just about everything you
do to create a document except for entering (i.e.,
typing) the text and/or other materials, such as
pictures or illustrations that are to become part of
the document. When properly configured, the word
processor provides all of the formatting required to
create a highly organized and pleasing document.
All you do is enter the text and any figures or
illustrations you need.
There are many word processor software programs available for
computer users. MS WordPad, MS Word, OpenOffice.org Writer, WordPerfect,
and web-based word processors like Google Docs and Office Web Apps
are the most famous word processors. .txt, .rtf, and .docx are common

THE INTERNET
Introduction to the Internet
The Internet is made up of millions of computers linked together all around
the world in such a way that information can be exchanged among computers
at any time. These computers can be in homes, schools, universities,
government departments, or offices. The
a
network of networks
!
linked together into one giant network called the Internet.
Computer Networks
A network is a group of two or more computer systems linked together. There
are two main types of computer networks: LAN and WAN.
zLocal Area Network (LAN): A LAN is two or more connected computers
sharing certain resources in a relatively small geographic location, often in
the same building, such as home networks and office networks.
%D'%
110
zWide Area Network (WAN): A WAN typically consists of two or more LANs.
The computers are further apart and linked by telephone lines, dedicated
fiber optic cables, or radio waves. The Internet is the largest Wide Area
Network (WAN) in existence.

Communication
You can use the Internet to communicate with people around the world
instantaneously. The messages you send over the Internet can reach any part
of the world in just a few seconds.
E-Mail
Electronic mail, commonly known as email or e-mail, is a method of exchanging
digital messages from an author to one or more recipients. Put simply, we
can describe e-mail as the transmission of messages over communications
networks. The messages can be notes entered from the keyboard or
electronic files stored on a hard disk. Most mainframes, minicomputers, and
computer networks have an e-mail system. Some e-mail systems are confined
to a single computer system or network, whereas others have gateways to
other computer systems, enabling users to send e-mail anywhere in the world.

Advantages and Disadvantages: Regardless of where you are in the world,
you can send an e-mail to multiple people and include multiple copies. In
addition, an e-mail can reach its destination within a couple of seconds.
Despite these advantages, e-mail has some drawbacks, such as security
and privacy issues; in addition, the person to whom you send e-mail needs
to have an e-mail account as well. Finally, you could have trouble with spam
(junk e-mails).

Searching Information
You can use the Internet to search for information on any specific topic, such
as the history of computers, scientific inventions, and places to see (e.g., the
Taj Mahal, Eiffel Tower).
113
Distance Learning
You can take any course of your choice and register for online certification
exams over the Internet. You can also enroll in home learning and open
universities to access specific diploma programs.
Digital Entertainment
The Internet can also be used as a source of entertainment. You can listen
to music, play games, watch movies, or share pictures. When you download
music or movies from the internet, you have to be aware of copyright and legal
issues for the content that you want to download.
E - Commerce
You can buy and sell products, such as books and electronic goods, over the
Internet. You can also pay for these goods online by using your credit card.
When you buy something online, if you use your debit or credit card, you
should be careful to use only web pages that have the https secure protocol.
Online Banking
You can use the Internet to perform banking transactions, such as viewing
details of your bank account and transferring money from one account to
another.
Online Communities
Newsgroups: Newsgroups are online
discussion forums dedicated to specific
topics. There are newsgroups available for all
kinds of topics, such as computers, literature,
social issues, current affairs, and more. These
newsgroups are called Usenet. Newsgroups
can be subjected to inflammatory messaging.
Posting such inflammatory messages is called

Chat Groups/Rooms: Chat groups or rooms are websites that you can use
to communicate instantly with other people who have logged on to the same
website. When you chat with someone, it means that you type a line of text
and then press the Enter key to send the message to them. The words that
you typed appear on the screens of the other participants, who can then
respond in kind. You can even use audio and video media while chatting so
that you can talk and see the person with whom you are chatting. You can also
transfer files to other participants. There are many chat rooms available that
cater to different topic areas. Depending on your topic of interest, you can sign
in to a chat room. You need to sign in to the chat room so that other people
in the chat room can know that you are online. Today, you can also use
mobile devices such as cell phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and
laptops to chat online. Chat rooms are not often closely monitored. Therefore,
there can be incidents of inappropriate chat, use of explicit language, and
harassment. Online chat groups can also be a target for online predators and
a channel for identity thefts.
Blogs: Blogs are online diaries or journals. The word was derived from web
log and soon became blog. You can post articles, daily events, or your
thoughts on any subject. Blogs are like personal diaries; you can restrict
access to people who can view and comment on your postings. You can
either post your articles on specific websites that allow you to post blogs or
you can create your own website.
www.blogger.com or www.wordpress.com are examples of online blogs.
Similar to other online communities, blogs are often subjected to offensive
language, graphic content, flaming, and spam.
Social Networking Websites: A social networking website facilitates building
online social groups for people who share common interests. On such
websites, you must create an account and a profile. People who use the
website can view your profile and you can visit their profiles. Similar to instant
messaging, you can add contacts or friends, share files, and hold discussions
on a social networking website. For example, Facebook, Google+, and
Twitter are the most famous ones. You can use some social networking
websites only for business purposes. Such websites help you share ideas,
post job openings, contact clients, and promote your products or services.
On some social networking websites, anyone can easily access personal
information provided by the users of the website. Malicious users can misuse
the information available on such websites.
Instant Messaging
Instant messaging allows you to communicate with other computer users over
the Internet. However, unlike e-mail messages, you can send and receive
messages immediately.
Instant messaging is similar to a telephone conversation; the only difference is
that you are typing your conversation. Instant messaging works just like a chat
room, but it allows only your friends and colleagues to see if you are online
and start a conversation.
Chapter 5: The Internet
115
To use instant messaging, you need instant messaging software along with
an Internet connection. You can download the messaging software from
the Internet and install it on your computer. For this topic, Windows Live
Messenger is used. Most instant messaging software works in a similar way.
After you install the software, you need to create an account. You need to
provide a user name and password. You may also be asked to provide your
personal details, but this is optional.
After you have created your account, you can log on and add the user
names of your friends and colleagues who use the same instant messaging
application. When you log on, the people in your list will know that you are
online and can send messages to you.
To send a message to someone who is online, you need to double-click

message in that window. Most instant messaging applications provide a
number of emoticons that allow you to express your emotions through icons.

Most instant messaging applications allow you to change your status, such
as Online, Busy, Away, or Out to lunch, to indicate whether you are available
for chatting or not. In case you do not want the people in your list to see that
you are online, but you would still like to be able to send messages to some of
them, you can set your status to Appear offline. Depending on the application
you use for instant messaging, there can be many more options.

ISDN
ISDN stands for Integrated Services Digital Network. ISDN lines are connections
that use ordinary phone lines to transmit digital signals instead of analog
signals. With digital signals, data can be transmitted at a much faster rate with
a traditional modem. Typical ISDN speeds range from 64 Kbps to 128 Kbps.
ADSL
Asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) is a type of digital subscriber line
technology that enables faster data transmission over copper telephone lines
than a conventional voiceband modem can provide. Nowadays, ADSL is the
most commonly deployed types of DSL. When a service provider or ISP offers
ADSL, the customer receives service that is not guaranteed to be the same
speed in both directions. ADSL supports data rates of from 1.5 to 9 Mbps
when receiving data (known as the downstream rate) and from 16 to 640 Kbps
when sending data (known as the upstream rate).

T1 and T3 Lines
A T1 line is a high-speed digital connection capable of transmitting data at a
rate of approximately 1.5 Mbps. A T1 line is typically used by small or mediumsized companies with heavy network traffic. It is referred as leased line. A T1
line is too expensive for individual use.
A T3 line is a high-speed digital connection capable of transmitting data at
a rate of 45 Mbps. A T3 line is wide enough to transmit full motion, real-time
video, and very large databases over a busy network. The backbones of the
internet are made up of T3 lines.
Satellite Connection
Satellite connection lets users download data from the internet to your PC
up to 512Kbps. This connection requires a receiver and satellite antenna to
connect to the satellite. Satellite connection is mostly used in rural areas that
do not have broadband connection like ADSL.
Fiber Internet
Fiber internet is the fastest internet access technology in the world. Fiber optic
cables transfer data using light, which provides better and faster performance
compared to copper wires. It provides up to 9 Gbps of speed depending on
the country.

Wi-Fi is widely installed in cafs, airports, and many other public buildings.
If you have seen someone at your local coffee shop surfing on the internet
with a laptop computer, it means they are using a Wi-Fi network. Some major
cities around the world are providing cheap Wi-Fi access called Muni-WiFi
(Municipality Wi-Fi).
WIMAX
Web browser, web page, and website are three keywords for understanding
the web.
Web Browser
A web browser is a software program that enables you to view and interact
with various resources on the web. An example of a widely used web browser
Internet Explorer, which displays both text and graphics. Some
browsers, such as Internet Explorer 7, offer a new feature called tabbed
browsing to facilitate better web browsing. Using tabs, you can view multiple
websites in a single browser window and easily switch from one website to
another.
Some websites may contain content in the form of animation, video, or audio
files. To view these files, you need additional programs known as add-ons.
An add-on is a software program that adds features to your browser and
enhances your Internet experience. Add-ons provide added functions by
allowing the web browser to access and run files included in web pages. For
example, Adobe Flash Player is a browser add-on that is required to view
high-quality videos by using web browsers. Other examples of browsers are
Opera, Firefox, Safari, and Google Chrome.

A Web page is a formatted text document on the web that a web browser can
display. Most web pages on the Internet allow you to quickly move to another
web page. You can do this by clicking a hyperlink, commonly called a link.
Clicking a link opens the new web page in your web browser. You can access
existing web pages or even create and publish new web pages on the web.
You can create web pages by using a software language known as Hypertext
Markup Language (HTML). Web browsers use HTML to display web pages.
Hypertext is a method of linking text with other text that helps you to easily
browse through related non-sequential topics on the same page or on other
web pages. WWW consists of millions of hypertexts.
Web Page
Step 1: Open a blank notepad file on your desktop.
Step 2: Type these HTML codes in your file
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello World</h1>
<p>This is my first web page!!!</p>
</body>
</html>
Step 3: Save this notepad file as helloweb.html
Step 4: Double-click on the file or open it in a web browser.
Web Site
A website is one or more web pages that reside on a single server. This server
is known as a web server and is connected to the Internet. The first web page
displayed when you access a website is known as the home page.

Every website on the web is stored on a server computer that is part of a vast
network. To access a website, you need to access the computer on which the
website is stored. Just as every house has a unique address, each computer
on the web is identified by a unique address, known as the Internet Protocol
(IP) address. The IP address is a numeric address that specifies the exact
location of a computer on the web. You can access a computer on the web
by using an IP address, such as 192.168.0.1.
The IP address is linked to a corresponding domain name because it is
easier to remember names than a string of numbers. For example, the
corresponding domain name for the IP address 209.85.231.104 can be www.
google.com. Web browsers can use either the domain name or the IP address
to locate and display a Web page.

Performing a Search
There are numerous search engines available, but the most popular ones are
Google, Yahoo!, and Bing. Each one has its own unique features, but the
process of conducting a search is very similar on all of them.
126
Currency Converter
Click in the search text box, type currency, and then click search. After clicking, the search engine
filters its database to locate any web pages that match your search criteria (i.e., contain the word
currency).
Browse through the result list to find a currency converter.
If you do not find a currency converter, type currency converter in the search box.
When you find a currency converter, convert 1 USD (United States dollar) to your local currency.
Do these same steps but this time you use other browsers (like Bing, Google) and compare the
results.

zUsing the Search Bar: Most browsers have a built-in search bar, located
on the right side of the address bar. To conduct a search, just type what
you are looking for (known as the search term) in the search bar; then
press Enter. Your browser will then take you to the search engine's website
to show you the search results, which is a list of all of the websites that
contain your search terms.

zzSearch phrases: Put quotes around a phrase so each word in the phrase is
not searched for separately. For example, if you put quotes around online
typing tutorials, the search engine searches for that entire phrase in a
web page. However, if you simply type online typing tutorials, the search
engine searches for each of the words individually, which may not give you
the results you desire.
zzExclude words: Use a hyphen (-) at the beginning of a word to exclude
search results containing it. For example, macaroni -cheese. In many search
engines the word NOT (in all caps) is used, as in macaroni NOT cheese.
zzUse OR: You can use OR (all caps) to include either of two words. For
example, soup recipe tofu OR fish should return recipes for soup that
contain tofu or fish (or both). You could also search for soup recipe tofu
OR fish OR chicken OR beef.
zzGet Help: Go to your search engine's Help page for more specific information
on a particular engine.
zzSpecialized Searches: Are you looking for news articles, images, videos,
or online stores? You can use a specialized search to search for a specific
type of content.
For example, if you conduct an image search, the search engine will find and
display images for you instead of finding links to pages that may or may not
have relevant images.

There are some principles to consider when creating a book cover. Both sides
of the covers should be considered as one in terms of color and shape. The
content of the book and the age of the readers should be considered as well.
The front cover should include the book title, subject, authors, and illustrators.
The back cover should include the ISBN number, publishing house, and
distribution addresses. The spine of the book should have the book title, class
name, publisher house, and authors name.
Your book cover is shown below. Now as a project you will create an
alternative cover for your book. Use alternative colors, images, and a layout.
The front and back covers should use the 21.5x24.5 paper size while the spine
of the book should be 1x24.5
