NMIX 2020 Final Review, NMIX Final Combo New Update!!
Metcalfe's Law - ANSWER value of a telecommunications network is proportional to
the square of the number of connected users of the system - thought of by Robert
Metcalfe when he was talking about the Ethernet
JavaScript - ANSWER Animation of objects on the page, was developed by Brendan
Eich. In that sense, JavaScript became arguably the most deployed language runtime in
the world.
PHP - ANSWER PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor is a widely used open source
general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and
can be embedded into HTML
Semiotics - ANSWER study of meaning-making/signs
Petroglyphs - ANSWER images made by removing part of a rock surface by incising,
picking, carving, or abrading, as a form of rock art
Logographic writing - ANSWER evolved naturally from pictograms and ideograms. It's

produce spoken words rather than the concepts behind the words.
Gutenberg Printing Press - ANSWER think about how this impacted communications
C ANSWER The first programming languages, basis for the others

, SQL (structured query language) - ANSWER The most prevalent is the relational
database, using a language called SQL, for Structured Query Language. Relational
databases represent the world using tables, which have rows and columns.
IDE - Integrated Development Environment - an application that provides facilities for
computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of a source
code editor, build automation tools and a debugger. Examples: Eclipse XCode: Apple's
IDE, software development tools for Apple's operating system
CPU - Central Processing Unit - the brain of the computer; multi-core
GPU - ANSWER Graphics Processing Unit - originally designed just for improving
computer systems' graphics performance, especially of 3D, but more powerful than
CPU
System on a Chip - ANSWER CPU + GPU - putting all components of a computer onto a
single chip
Random Access Memory - ANSWER RAM is its working memory. RAM stores information
only while a device is powered on. It's the fastest possible tool a computer has at its
disposal for reading and writing data. The amount of RAM in a device affects its ability to
multi-task, as well as a few other performance metrics.
Moore's Law ANSWER Co-founder of Intel said that devices' computing power will
double every 18-24 months.
IP ANSWER Internet Protocol - IP addresses allow the location of literally billions of
digital devices that are connected to the Internet to be pinpointed and differentiated
from other devices.
DARPANET / ARPANET - ANSWER became technical foundation for the internet 4
universities communicated with each other across the country - funded by the
