,Data Visualization (Analytic Tool) - =Presentation of data in pictorial or graphical format. Brings
dull and boring numbers into interesting visuals.
TagCrowd & Word Cloud - =Visual deception of words that have been grouped together
because of their frequency of occurrence.
Conversion Funnel - =Graphical Representation that summarizes steps a consumer takes in
making a decision to buy a product.
Linear Regression (Analytic Tool) - =Mathematical technique for predicting the value of a
dependent variable based on a single independent variable.

strategies to attain organizational objects and goals.
Balanced Scorecard - =sets goals, measures, and targets for certain departments.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) - =Organization measure performance of organization.
Consists of objective, measure, target, and time frame.

What-if Analysis - =Analysis to evaluate various alternatives to a problem.
Computer Mistakes - =Errors
Failures

letting you use your computer again.
Virus - =piece of code that causes computer to behave in an unexpected manner.
Worms - =harmful program that resides in active memory and duplicates itself. Can spread
without intervention.
Trojan Horse - =seemingly harmless program in which malicious code is hidden. Creates a
"backdoor" on computer enabling attack gain future access.
Blended Threat - =Combination of virus, worm, trojan horse, and other bad codes.
Spam - =Use of email system to send unsolicited email to large numbers of people.
