BTE 210: Exam 1
(Basic Input/Output System) BIOS - ANS -controls the startup process and loads the operating
system into memory.
\2 types of network speeds - ANS -Bandwidth, broadband
\advantages of CC - ANS -enables businesses and users to acquire the IT resources they need,
just when they need it; provides on demand data processing and storage
\advantages of coaxial cable - ANS -much less susceptible to electrical interference and carry
more data than twisted pair
\Advantages of flash memory - ANS -smaller and more durable than hard drives
\advantages of linux - ANS -all original source code can be used, freely modified, and
redistributed, very secure
\advantages of mobile computing - ANS -ubiquity, convenience, instant connectivity,
personalization, localization of products and services
\advantages of twisted-pair wire - ANS --inexpensive
-widely available
-easy to work with
\Application software - ANS -consists of instructions that direct a computer system to perform
specific information processing activities and also to provide functionality for users
\bandwidth network - ANS -transmission capacity of a network measured in bits per second
(bps)
\Basic cloud characteristics - ANS -"no-need-to-know" in terms of the underlying details of
infrastructure; "flexibility and elasticity" allows these systems to scale up and down; "pay as
much as used and needed" type of utility computing; "always on, anywhere and any place" type
of network-based computing.
\benefits of SC to consumers - ANS -better and faster vendors responses, customers can assist
other customers, can test new products and ideas quickly and inexpensively, etc
\BI dashboards - ANS -provides easy access to timely information and direct access to
management reports
\BI data visualization technologies - ANS -data presented to users in visual formats such as text,
graphics, and tables following data processing
\bluetooth network - ANS -utilized to create small personal area networks
\Broadband network - ANS -telecommunications signal is greater than bandwidth
\Business Intelligence (BI) - ANS -a broad category of applications, technologies, and processes
for gathering, storing, accessing, and analyzing data to help business users make better
decisions
\Cache Memory - ANS -Primary memory- High speed memory that enables the computer to
temporarily store blocks of data that are used more frequently
\CC simple definition - ANS -=software as a service + platform as a service
+infrastructure as a service
\Central Processing Unit (CPU) - ANS -manipulates the data and controls the tasks performed
by the other components
, \Cloud computing - ANS -a method for delivering business and IT services
\coaxial cable - ANS -insulated copper wire, which used to carry high-speed data traffic and
television signals
\communication media and channel types - ANS -twisted-pair wire, coaxial cable, fiber optics
\Communication technologies - ANS -provide the flow of data from external computer networks
(Internet) to the CPU, and from the CPU to computer networks
\Computer's Hardware - ANS -The physical equipment used for the input, processing, output,
and storage activities of a computer system
\cyber banking - ANS -conducting banking activities not at a physical location, virtual banks
dedicated solely to internet transactions
\cybersquatting - ANS -the practice of registering or using domain names for the purpose of
profiting from the goodwill or the trademark that belongs to someone else
\Data mining - ANS -the process of searching for valuable information in a large database, data
warehouse, or data mart
\data mining is used in: - ANS -retailing and sales, banking, manufacturing and production,
insurance, healthcare, marketing
\Dematerialization with smartphones - ANS -phenomenon that occurs when the functions of
many physical devices are included in one other physical device (ex. iPhone = computer)
\digital wallets - ANS -PayPal, google wallet, apple wallet
\disadvantages of cc - ANS -requires constant internet connection; does not work well with low
speed connections; features might be limited
\disadvantages of coaxial cable - ANS -expensive and inflexible, easily tapped (low to medium
security), somewhat difficult to work with
\disadvantages of twisted-pair wire - ANS -slow (low bandwidth), subject to interference, easily
tapped (low security)
\Domain name system (DNS) - ANS -easy to remember names for some IP address
\e-commerce business models - ANS -online direct marketing, name your own price, find the
best price, group purchasing, online auctions, membership
\electronic business - ANS -servicing customers, collaborating with business partners, and
performing electronic transactions within an organization
\electronic cards - ANS -coin
\electronic checks (e-checks) - ANS -primarily in B2B
\electronic commerce - ANS -The process of buying, selling, transferring, or exchanging
products, services, or information via computer networks, including the Internet
\Evil twin - ANS -threat to wireless security where using a hotspot, an attacker simulates a
wireless access point with the same wireless network ESSID, as the users expect
\examples of IoT in use - ANS -the smart home, health care, automotive, environmental
monitoring, energy management, agriculture, transportation
\extranet - ANS -shared content accessed by groups through cross enterprise boundaries
\Fiber optics - ANS -consists of thousands of very thin filaments of glass fibers that transmit
information via light pulses generated by lasers
\Fiber optics advantages - ANS -very high bandwidth, relatively inexpensive, difficult to tap
(good security)
\Fiber Optics Disadvantages - ANS -difficult to work with
