Complete Questions Ans Detailed
Answers Graded A+ 2025/2026.
Digital Literacy (Computer Literacy) - ANSWER It involves having
a current knowledge and understanding of computers, mobile devices, the
web, and related technologies.
Computer - ANSWER A computer is an electronic device,
operating under the control of instructions stored in its own memory, that
can accept data, process the data to produce information, and store the
information for future use.
Data - ANSWER Data is raw facts, such as text or numbers.
Hardware - ANSWER Hardware is the device itself and its
components, such as wires, cases, switches, and electronic circuits.
Software - ANSWER Software consists of the programs and apps
that instruct the computer to perform tasks. Software processes data into
meaningful information.
Vacuum Tubes - ANSWER Cylindrical glass tubes that controlled
the flow of electrons, used in the first generation of computers. The ENIAC
and UNIVAC are examples of these expensive machines. Their use and
availability were limited due to their large size, the amount of power they
consumed, the heat they generated, and how quickly they wore out.
Transistors - ANSWER The next generation of computers
replaced vacuum tubes with transistors, which were smaller, cheaper, and
more reliable. These computers contained many components still in use
today, including tape and disk storage, memory, operating systems, and
stored programs.
Integrated Circuits - ANSWER In the 1960s, computer engineers
developed integrated circuits, which packed the equivalent of thousands
of vacuum tubes or transistors into a silicon chip about the size of your
thumb.
Microprocessor - ANSWER In 1971, Ted Hoff and a team of
engineers at Intel and IBM introduced the microprocessor. A
microprocessor is the "brains" of a computer, a chip that contains a central
processing unit. Microprocessors were even faster, smaller, and less
, expensive than integrated circuits. Today, microprocessors are often
called processors for short.
Internet of Things (IoT) - ANSWER The Internet of Things (IoT) is
an environment where processors are embedded in every product
imaginable (things), and these things communicate with one another via
the Internet or wireless networks. IoT-enabled devices often are referred
to as smart devices because of their ability to communicate, locate, and
predict.
Embedded Computer - ANSWER An embedded computer is a
computer that functions as one component in a larger product, and which
has a specific purpose. Embedded computers usually are small and have
limited hardware on their own but enhance the capabilities of everyday
devices. Embedded computers perform a specific function based on the
requirements of the product in which they reside. Automated teller
machines (ATMs) are one of the more familiar uses of IoT.
Kiosk - ANSWER A kiosk is a freestanding booth usually placed in
a public area that can contain a display device used to show information
to the public or event attendees. Kiosks enable self-service transactions
(ex. check-in for hotels, airports, and healthcare centers). ATMs are a type
of kiosk.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) - ANSWER Artificial intelligence (AI) is
the technological use of logic and prior experience to simulate human
intelligence. AI has a variety of capabilities, such as speech recognition,
virtual reality, logical reasoning, and creative responses. Computers with
AI use machine intelligence rather than human intelligence to make
decisions. Some of the practical uses of AI include strategic gaming,
military simulations, statistical predictions, and self-driving cars.
Computers learn from past interactions to predict likely outcomes or
responses. They use databases and Internet searches to come up with
answers to questions.
Virtual Reality (VR) - ANSWER Virtual reality (VR) is the use of
computers to simulate a real or imagined environment that appears as a
three-dimensional (3-D) space. These simulations use 3-D images that
enable users to explore and have a sensory experience through visual and
sound effects.
Augmented Reality (AR) - ANSWER Augmented reality (AR) is a
type of VR that uses an image of an actual place or thing and adds digital
information to it (ex. a photo of a location overlaid with information about
places of interest).
