What is Computing? Computing is.... [Diagram here of what computing is] IT is... Digital literacy is... Computer Science is the study of what computers are, how they work and how to develop new applications and systems which use them. Computer Science is not the same as ICT, which is all about how to use computers and applications to process and communicate information. This book is aimed at students in Key Stage 3 but might also be useful to students of other ages. Key Stage 3 is normally students between the ages of 11 and 14 in British schools.
