  1. 2. A type in many programming languages that can hold either a True or a False
  2. 8. a general purpose computer that is small enough and inexpensive enough to reside at a persons work area for his or her exclusive use. It includes microcomputers such as Macintosh, and PCs running DOS, as well as high-performance desktop and deskside computers.
  3. 12. A wide-area hypermedia information retrieval technology that interconnects information around the world. It allows you to travel through the information by clicking on hyperlinks that can point to any document anywhere on the Internet. Originated at CERN and collaborated upon by a large, informal, and international design and development team, WWW allows links inside and between documents, plus pointers to FTP sites, news, telnet sessions, gopher sites, and WAIS databases.
  4. 13. temporary memory for data, normally used to accommodate the difference in the rate at which two devices can handle data during a transfer.
  5. 14. the study of process, data and computation.
  6. 18. The proprietary operating system distributed by Microsoft
  7. 20. a television-like screen that shows text, graphics, and other functions performed by the computer.
  8. 21. A software tool used to read electronic documents. Mosaic, NetScape and Lynx are the most popular browsers.
  9. 22. information retrieved from a computer, displayed by a computer or produced by a program running on a computer.
  10. 23. Hypertext Markup Language. A language used to write internet based documents that can refer to each
  11. 25. A program for translating a program written in one language into code that can be executed.
  12. 27. It is a CPU that processes instructions specifically targeted at graphics processing.
  13. 28. a device that is moved by hand to move a pointer to indicate a precise position on a display screen. The device has one or more buttons on top and a cable connected to a computer; it may use wheels and be friction-driven or it may use light reflected from a special pad.

  1. 1. placing documents within other documents. Nesting allows a user to access material in a non-linear fashion - this is the primary factor needed for developing hypertext.
  2. 2. a group of adjacent binary digits, usually 8, on which a computer operates as a unit; often used to represent a single character.
  3. 3. a windowing environment from Sun Microsystems based on X-windows and NeWS.
  4. 4. An organized collection of data and services to access them in a variety of ways relevant to the data.
  5. 5. environment or physical aspects that supports the running of a computer system.
  6. 6. An international standard suite of protocols defined by International Standards Organization, that implements the OSI reference model for network communications between computers.
  7. 7. a computer system in which the central processing unit is built as a single tiny semiconductor chip or as a small number of chips.
  8. 9. an error. Can be a hardware malfunction or a software programming error.
  9. 10. A computer that provides some service and is accessible over the internet.
  10. 11. Where the computer instructions are executed.
  11. 15. a set of actions or instructions that a machine is capable of interpreting and executing. Used as a verb, to design, write and test such instructions.
  12. 16. a single block of information allocated by an operating system for retention beyond the execution time of any

  16. 25. refers to information being stored not on one’s own computer but on a distant
  17. 26. an Internet-based, global hypermedia browser that provides a unified interface to the various protocols, data formats, and information archives (i.e. gopher) used on the Internet and enables powerful new ways for discovering, using, viewing, and sharing information. It was developed by NCSA as part of the WWW project.
