QuestionAnswer
secondary storage equipment designed to store large volumes of data for long term storage
appliance computer dedicated to a single function, such as a calculator or computer game.
PDA Personal digital assistant small handheld computer that preforms simple tasks such as taking notes, scheduling appointments, and maintaining address book and calendar. PDA scree is touch sensitive, allowing user to write directly on the screen, capturing what is written.
handheld (ultra portable , pocket computer computer portable enough to fit i a purse or pocket and has its own power source or battery.
Laptop (portable, pocket ) computer Computer portable enough to fit on a lap or in a bag and has its own power source or battery. Laptops come equipped with all the technology that a personal desk to computer has , yet weigh as little as two pounds.
Tablet computer Computer with flat screen that uses a mouse or fingertip for input instead of a keyboard. Similar to PDA's tablet PCs use a writing pen or stylus to write notes on the screen and touch the screen to perform functions such as clicking link to a website.
Personal computer (Microcomputer) Computer that is operated by a single user who can customize the functions to match personal preferences.
Desktop computer Computer that sits on, next to or under a user's desk and is too large to carry around. Computer box (tower) holds CPU, RAM and storage devices and has separate monitor.
Workstations Computers Similar to desktop but has more powerful mathematical and graphics processing capabilities and can perform more complicated tasks in less time. Used for ebusiness, software design, web development , engineering.
Minicomputer (Server) Designed to meet the computing needs of several people simultaneously in a small to medium-size business environment.
Mainframe computer Designed to meet the computing needs of hundreds of people in a large business environment. are a step up in size , power, capabilities and cost of minicomputers.
Supper computer Fastest, most powerful, and most expensive type of computer. Organizations such as NASA that are heavily involved in research and number crunching employ supper computer because of the speed of processing information. GM and AT&T use
primary storage computer's main memory which consists of the RAM, ROM, cache memory that is directly accessible to the CPU
Single use license restricts the use of the software to one user at a time.
Application Service provider license specialty software paid for on a license basis or per-use basis or usage-based licensing.
gigahertz billions of CPU cycles per second
system clock works like a wristwatch and uses a battery mounted on the motherboard to provide power when the computer is turned off.
Utility software provides additional functionality to the operating system. ..antivirus , screen savers, anti spam
Input device equipment used to capture information and commands.
output device equipment used to see hear or otherwise accept the results of information processing requests.
system software controls how the various technology tools work together along with the application software. Includes both operation system software and utility software.
multitasking allows more than one piece of software to be used at a time. Printing excel graph and working on paper in word.
embedded operation system used in computer appliances and special purpose applications , single purpose systems like ipod...car , atm
application software used for specific information processing needs, including payroll, customer relationship management project management, training and many others.
central processing unit (CPU) or microprocessor is the actual hardware that interprets and executes the program (software) instructions and coordinates how all the other hardware works together
CPU contains two primary parts Control unit and arithmetic- logic unit (ALU)
control unit interprets software instructions and tells the other hardware devices how to work together.
volatility refers to a device's ability to function with or without power.
personal information management software (PIF) handles contact information, appointments, tasks list and email.
Random access memory (RAM) computer's primary working memory, in which program instructions and data are stored so they can be accessed directly by the CPU via processor's high speed external data bus.
word length number of bits (0 & 1's ) that can be processed by CPU at any one time. Computer work in terms of bits and byes using electrical pulses that have two states on and off
bus width size of the internal electrical pathway along which signals are sent from one part of the computer to another.
Chip line width distance between transistors on a chip
Reduced Instruction set computer (RISC) chips limit the number of instructions the CPU can execute to increase processing speed.
System restore enables user's to return to previous operation system.
volatile means it must have constant power to function, contents are lost when the computer's electric supply fails.
Complex instructions set computer (CISC) chips chips, type of CPU that can recognize as many as 100 or more instructions, enough to carry out most computations directly.
Flash memory (flash drive) special type of rewrite able read-only memory (ROM) that is compact and portable
magnetic medium secondary storage medium that uses magnetic techiques to store and retrieve data on disks or tapes coated with magnetically sensitive materials.
memory sticks provide nonvolatile memory for a range of protable devices including computers, cameras, mps players and pda's
ROM Read-only memory is the portion of a computer's primary memory that does not lose its contents when power is switched off
stylus
gigabyte roughly 1 billion bytes
microprocessor is a single chip implementation of CPU
computer electronic devise operation under the control of instructions stored in its own memory that can accept, manipulate, and store data.
system software controls how the various technology tools work together along with the applications software. Includes both operation and utility software

What is the equipment that processes data to create information known as?

A computer is an electronic device that manipulates information, or data. It has the ability to store, retrieve, and process data.

What is equipment used to capture information and commands?

Answer: input device you should use to capture information and commands.

What is a computer designed to request information from a server?

The device that makes the request, and receives a response from the server, is called a client. On the Internet, the term "server" commonly refers to the computer system that receives requests for a web files and sends those files to the client.

What software controls the application software and manages how the hardware devices work together?

Operating system (OS) – a software that controls and coordinates the computer hardware devices and runs other software and applications on a computer. It is the main part of system software and a computer will not function without it.
