MULTIPLE-CHOICE
Stand-alone software Stand-alone software works on its own and cannot share
data with other programs
CPU Central processing unit (CPU), receives and carries out the
instructions inputted by the user.
GPU Graphics processing unit (GPU), makes the calculations and
follows the instructions necessary to display images on a
screen.
3 basic components Hardware, communication medium, network software
used to set up a
network.
Integrated software Integrated software combines programs generally used,
e.g. word processing, spreadsheets, database and
communication programs in one package
‘Rebooting’ a First, turn devices off, and then reboot/start the operating
computer system.
Plug and play The term for the series of technologies that allows one to
insert a device into a USB port and then to use the device
almost immediately
A printer queue When you send a print task to the printer, it is temporarily
stored on the hard drive where it waits until the printer is
ready to print it.
A server Powerful computer that provides shared resources in a
network.
A client computer A server computer provides resources/services in a network
A server computer A client computer uses resources/services provided by
servers in a network

Thin clients A thin client is a computer that runs from resources stored on
a central server instead of a localized hard drive. Thin clients
work by connecting remotely to a server-based computing
environment where most applications, sensitive data, and
memory, are stored.
The Internet A global network consisting of many networks that are
connected to each other.
Interface Part of the operating system. Provides us with GUI
(Graphical User Interface).
Spreadsheet Type of software used to manipulate numbers
Word processing Type of software used to compose letters
Shareware Shareware is software that can be used for a trial period. If
you want to continue using the software, you must pay for it.
Freeware Software you can obtain without paying for it and install as
often as you like.
Defragmentation The defragmentation utility will rearrange and consolidate
the distributed parts of files on disk. So that it can be
obtained faster.
Disk clean-up Used to scan the disk for errors and corrupt files. And then try
to fix it
Client The general term given to any computing device that uses
network resources.
LAN Connect computers using cables. A WLAN is simply a LAN
implemented using wireless connectivity.
WLAN Connect computers using radio waves. A LAN is a network
that covers limited (geographical) area.
Intranet An organisation's private network, which consists of web
pages referring to the organisation's business. Information

organisation.
Target audience The group you report to. It should be considered to know at
what level the information should be conveyed.
Target group People whose information you are trying to analyse. It can
be the entire population, or a specific subsection
A database A database can be described as a collection of data or
facts on a specific topic.
A keylogger Take note of keyboard presses as you type. Are classified as
malware because they can intercept sensitive information
such as passwords and forward it to a third party.
Adware Software that bombards you with ads when you're on the
Internet. Adware and spyware are problems regardless of
the type of operating system that is used.
Metadata Additional data stored over a file. E.g author, comments,
bit-depth, etc.
RAM The most important hardware specifications that generally
determine the overall ‘power’ of a computer
Access point Consists of a sender/transceiver and an antenna which
transmit and receive radio waves so that the devices that
are wireless enabled are able to communicate with one
another and the network.
Processing stage of the The CPU works with the computer’s memory to get
information processing instructions on how to display the information from the input
cycle device
Storage stage of the Stores it as pixels in the computer’s memory. The information

Validation rule The conditions which the data must satisfy in a specified
field to be valid.
