Computer Fundamentals and Applications
Across
- 3. it gathers, organizes and manipulates data and carries out instructions
- 4. the information part of an information system
- 5. tubes/ used by first computer systems for circuitry and magnetic drums for memory
- 7. the rules, descriptions and instructions for how things are done in computer-based information systems
- 10. brought thousands of integrated circuits were built onto a single silicon chip
- 11. System/ a system which allowes a device to run many different applications at one time with a central program that monitores the memory
- 14. Circuit/ a small electronic device made out of a semiconductor material
- 17. one of the most important element of computer-based information system that involves more than one piece of hardware to connect and function
- 20. an electronic computer which was built for the military in 1943
- 21. Intelligence/ a system where fifth-generation computers are based on which can develop devices in responding to natural language
- 23. the first general-purpose digital computer developed in 1946
- 24. a mutinational technology company that introduced Macintosh computer with its icon driven interface in 1984
Down
- 1. generation computing devices based on artificial intelligence
- 2. the most obvious part of a computer-based information system including servers, routers, monitors, printers and storage devices
- 6. siliconchips where miniaturized transistors were placed on
- 8. Babbage/ the english mathematics professor who designed the Analytical Engine where the basic framework of the computers of today are based on
- 9. the first computer which was built for commercial use in 1951
- 12. allow computers to become smaller, faster, cheaper, more energy-efficient and more reliable than their first-generation predecessors
- 13. system/ an organized system for the collection, organization, storage and communication of information
- 15. Computer/ one of the third-fourth generation computers which was introduced by IBM for home and office use
- 16. a device that can be instructed to carry out sequences of arithmetic or logicaloperations automatically
- 18. the most important part of a computer-based information system who design and operate the software, input the data, build the hardware and keep it running
- 19. language/ the lowest-level programming language understood by computers to perform operations
- 22. machine language which allowes programmers to specify instructions in words
