Digital Technologies: Assignment 2
Mobile Devices - <<<ANSWER>>>Computing devices small enough to
hold in your hand, with most being Internet capable; popular examples
include: smartphones, digital cameras, wearable devices, tablets, e-
readers
Wearable Devices - <<<ANSWER>>>Small, mobile computing
consumer devices designed to be worn that communicate with a mobile
device or computer, usually by Bluetooth; examples include activity
trackers, smartwatches, smartglasses, safety/health devices
Peripherals - <<<ANSWER>>>Hardware components that connect to a
personal computer; examples include scanners, printers, projectors,
headsets, and digital cameras
Scanner - <<<ANSWER>>>Electronic device that scans printed or
handwritten text documents, images, or certain objects, and converts
them into a digital file format. Examples of types are Flatbed, Sheet-fed,
and Handheld scanners
Digital Camera - <<<ANSWER>>>Mobile device that allows you to
take, edit, store, and transfer photographed images and/or video
digitally. Examples/Types of: Compact, Point & Shoot, Rugged (water-
proof), Action (Go-Pro), interchangeable lenses
, Webcam - <<<ANSWER>>>Digital video camera that feeds or streams
video and audio input in real time to or through a computer to a
computer network; short for 'web camera'. Examples: Built-in or
standalone
Tablet - <<<ANSWER>>>Thin, lighter-weight mobile computer that
has a touch screen, runs on battery and/or power supply, and usually
does not contain a physical keyboard; smaller than a laptop but larger
than a phone. Types: Slate, Convertible, Hybrid, Rugged (Apple iPad,
Samsung Galaxy, Amazon Fire, Microsoft Surface Pro)
Digital Pen - <<<ANSWER>>>Computer-enabled electronic pen that
writes on a computer screen or writing pad and gives more precise
control than can be achieved with your fingertips or a mouse. Examples:
trackball pen (with a sensor attached to detect the motion of the
trackball), camera pen (with camera attached), and positional pen (to
detect the position of the tip)
Speech/Voice recognition - <<<ANSWER>>>Capability of an
electronic device to understand spoken words and phrases and then
convert them to a machine-readable format; voice-to-text software
usually has a limited vocabulary of words and phrases, and it may only
identify these if they are spoken very clearly; microphone or headset
required. Examples of software: Dragon & Windows; other examples of
voice recognition is using Alexa and Siri to communicate information
Headset - <<<ANSWER>>>Device worn on your head which contains
both a microphone and headphones. Examples: with one headphone or
two headphones; types to be used for telephone communication, gaming,
or with speech recognition software
Computer - <<<ANSWER>>>Electronic device that receives data,
processes data, stores data, and produces a result.
