Across
- 3. An open-source software framework for storing and processing massive datasets across clusters of computers
- 7. Bigger than a gigabyte of code
- 11. Compression Reduces file size by finding and eliminating statistical redundancies (like repeated patterns) without discarding any original data, ensuring the decompressed file is a perfect, bit-for-bit identical copy of the original
- 15. The act of disguising an electronic communication, like a phone call, email, or website, to look like it's from a trusted source to deceive the recipient
- 16. Code A system that uses 1s and 0s to represent data in a computer.
- 17. The standard language for creating web pages, using tags to structure content like headings, paragraphs, links, and images, forming the fundamental skeleton of websites
- 18. Data Represents physical quantities (like sound, light, temperature) that vary continuously, having infinite possible values. within a range.
- 19. A small, formatted unit of data sent over a network, like the internet, that carries a piece of a larger message, containing both the actual data (payload) and crucial control information (header) like source/destination addresses, allowing data to be broken down, routed independently, and reassembled at its destination
Down
- 1. Law The observation that the number of transistors on a microchip doubles approximately every two years, leading to exponential growth in computing power, speed, and efficiency, while costs decrease.
- 2. A fast, connectionless internet protocol for sending data packets called datagrams
- 4. The smallest unit of a digital image or computer display, often a tiny square or dot of a single color.
- 5. World Wide and Search
- 6. Data Information that can be freely accessed, used, re-used, and redistributed by anyone for any purpose, with minimal restrictions
- 8. A tiny semiconductor device that acts as a microscopic electronic switch or amplifier, controlling electrical current flow to process information
- 9. The smallest unit of code
- 10. A is malicious software (malware) that blocks access to a computer system or encrypts its files, demanding
- 12. Compression A data compression technique that reduces file size by permanently removing certain data deemed unnecessary or less important, resulting in a smaller file but with some loss of quality
- 13. Cerf One of the inventors of the internet
- 14. Blue, Red, Green.
- 20. A character encoding standard that uses numerical values to represent letters, numbers, and symbols for computers to process.
