|ALREADY GRADED A (WGU)
A collection of computers and resources CONNECTED by various
media so that they can COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER. -
ANSWER ✔✔- NETWORK
Systems Software and Applications Software - ANSWER ✔✔-
SOFTWARE CATEGORIES
RULES provided by WHICH NETWORKS communicate with each
other - ANSWER ✔✔- IP PROTOCOL
STORES the programs BEING EXECUTED and the data they are
using. - ANSWER ✔✔- COMPUTER MEMORY
Controls THE SPEED at which instructions are processed. -
ANSWER ✔✔- SYSTEM CLOCK
Stands for Random Access Memory. It temporarily stores data
before it is processed and sent to your screen or printer. IT IS
VOLATILE (means data or information stored disappears when
the computer is turned off or loses power). - ANSWER ✔✔- RAM

,Transistor components, magnetic core memory, smaller size,
easier to program, disk drives and drums, called mainframe
computers - ANSWER ✔✔- 2nd Generation of Computers
Silicon chips (known as ICs - integrated circuits), reduced cost,
called mini computers, networks introduced via dumb terminals -
ANSWER ✔✔- 3rd Generation of Computers
Written for a specific machine by the engineers who built and ran
the computers; no need for OS since only one program could run
at a time - ANSWER ✔✔- Low-level Language
Easier than machine but still required detailed, precise LOW
LEVEL instructions - ANSWER ✔✔- Assembly Language
Function is to TRANSLATE ONE LANGUAGE TO ANOTHER; take
source code and convert it to another form; source code by itself
cannot be read by a computer - ANSWER ✔✔- Language

ANSWER ✔✔- Local Computer
First users were the engineers who built and programmed
computers, then employees who had received specialized training
were users, and now today, anyone and everyone can be a user.
- ANSWER ✔✔- Evolution of Users
Sends files over the network at the request of clients. Responds
over LAN, within one location/site. Support both application
software and data files. - ANSWER ✔✔- FILE SERVER
Turns a user-friendly domain name, like Google.com, into an
Internet Protocol (IP) address like ((( 70.42.251.42 ))) that
computers use to identify each other on the network. - ANSWER
