1. Information Technology - ANSWER ✓ The technology used in creating,
maintaining, and making information accessible.
2. IT Professional Roles - ANSWER ✓ Administration and Support
3. Information Systems - ANSWER ✓ A collection of data and information
used to support the management of an organization. Also refers to the
technical components and human resources that enable the assembly,
storage, and processing of data and the delivery of information. This has
existed for a lot longer than computers.
4. Characteristics of Quality Data - ANSWER ✓ Relevance - the data being
used must apply directly to the decision being made
5. Timely - data must be efficient and must be provided in a timely manner
6. Thorough - the data must be complete
7. Accurate - data should be captured only once, where possible and should be
captured as close to the point of activity as possible.
8. Reliable - data should reflect stable and consistent data collection processes
across collections points and over time
,9. IPOS - ANSWER ✓ The Input-Procession-Output-Storage Cycle
10.Input - ANSWER ✓ Raw data is entered by the user.
11.Processing - ANSWER ✓ Raw data is organized or structured for
usefulness.
12.Output - ANSWER ✓ Information is output so user can see results.
13.Storage - ANSWER ✓ Processed information is stored for permanent
record.
14.Computer System - ANSWER ✓ A collection of components that work
together to meet the needs of the user; typically categorized as either
hardware, software, networks, or users.
15.Hardware - ANSWER ✓ Physical components of a computer system which
include the system unit and its components and peripheral devices; tangible
aspects of the computer.
16.Software - ANSWER ✓ Computer programs that tell the computer what to
do--how to execute commands and process information
17.Network - ANSWER ✓ A collection of computers and resources connected
by various media so that they can communicate with each other.
18.User - ANSWER ✓ Those who use a computer.
19.Software Categories - ANSWER ✓ Systems Software and Applications
Software
20.Evolution of Users - ANSWER ✓ 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.
21.Application Software - ANSWER ✓ Programs end users run to accomplish
tasks.
,22.Productivity Software - ANSWER ✓ Application software used to aid in
productivity. I.E. Presentation software, word processor, spreadsheets.
23.System Software - ANSWER ✓ Consists of programs that make up the OS
and directly support system itself.
**Includes services or DAEMONS
24.Server Software - ANSWER ✓ Works with hardware to provide network
service.
25.Local Application - ANSWER ✓ Software stored on an individual
computer.
26.Intranet - ANSWER ✓ A LAN that uses IP. Used to communicate within
organization.
27.Cloud Computing - ANSWER ✓ Allows organization to access
resources/app anywhere, anytime. Beneficial because an org. may access
resources it may not normally have.
28.Operating Systems - ANSWER ✓ Allows a user to easily access
hardware/software, required to maintain computer environment.
29.Kernel - ANSWER ✓ Core component of OS.
Loads when computer first boots
Sits on top of hardware, is interface b/w hardware and software.
30.Device Drivers - ANSWER ✓ Interface b/w OS and hardware.
31.Shell - ANSWER ✓ Interface for user, often personalized. The shell
provides access to the kernel.
I.E. The GUI will translate mouse motions into calls to kernel/routines.
Desktop elements include shortcuts, windows theme, menus, background.
32.Services (Daemons) - ANSWER ✓ OS programs that start when OS is
loaded. They run in the background and wait for an event to initiate.
33.Utility Programs - ANSWER ✓ Allow user to monitor system performance.
, 34.Web Server - ANSWER ✓ Role is to respond to HTTP requests.
*Most HTTP requests are for HTML docs, but could include any web
accessible resource.
It's all combined into the URL.
**APACHE is most popular web server-can execute scripts for dynamic
pages, use security mechanisms, log request for trend tracking.
35.Proxy Server - ANSWER ✓ A software that acts as an intermediary between
a client and a server to shield the client from adverse actions of the server.
*Also provides degree of anonymity, since IP address recorded is for proxy
server and not individual client.
*Can also be used to block requests to certain servers (i.e Facebook)
*Can reject responses that contain certain content (i.e "porn")
**SQUID is most common, but APACHE can also be used as proxy server.
36.Database Server - ANSWER ✓ Permits database access across a network.
Performs tasks such as data analysis, data manipulation, security, and
archiving.
May/may not store database itself.
**MySQL is popular.
37.File Server - ANSWER ✓ Computer with large hard disk storing files, but
can also store software to be run over network.
38.Email Server - ANSWER ✓ Provides email service.
Accepts email request from clients.
IMAP,POPS,HTTP,MAPI,MIME
39.Client-Server - ANSWER ✓ Client is computer that will request info from
another computer (the server) .
The server takes requests and responds.
*More expensive than peer to peer.
BENEFITS: More storage=faster response time.
40.Virtual Machine - ANSWER ✓ Allows access to multiple machines without
having to purchase multiple computers.
Also allows user to run software for a computer that normally would not be
able to run that software.
