This document provides an introduction to computer systems and fundamentals of information technology. It discusses the classification of computers based on the type of data processed (analog, digital, hybrid), functions performed (special purpose, general purpose), and processing capabilities (microcomputer, workstation, minicomputer, mainframe, supercomputer). It also defines computer storage capacities in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes etc. and describes measures of computer processing speed in milliseconds, microseconds, MIPS, MHz and GHz. Faster processing is indicated by higher numbers in these measures.
