⫸ Cloud computing. Answer: A process that provided access to
information, applications, communications, and storage over the
Internet.
⫸ Digital data. Answer: Text, numbers, graphics, or sound
represented by discrete digits, such as 1s and 0s.
⫸ Analog data. Answer: Data that is measured or represented on a
continuously varying scale, such as a dimmer switch or a watch with a
sweep second hand.
⫸ Compression. Answer: Any technique that recodes the data in a file
so that it contains fewer bits
⫸ Lossy compression. Answer: Any data compression technique in
which some of the data is sacrificed to obtain more compression.
⫸ Lossless compression. Answer: A compression technique that is
able to reconstitute all of the data in the original file; hence lossless
means that this compression technique does not lose data.
⫸ Compression is commonly referred to as "zipping".. Answer: True
,⫸ On laptops and desktop computers, the compression utility is
accessed from the same screen used to manage files.. Answer: True
⫸ Pixel interpolation. Answer: A process that is used by graphics

⫸ Rendering. Answer: In graphics software, the process of creating a
3-D solid image by covering a wireframe drawing and applying
computer-generated highlights and shadows.
⫸ Vectors. Answer: Lines and curves that form simple shapes.
⫸ Vectors form a wireframe that works like the framework for a tent..
Answer: True
