- 2. A computer with software capabilities that provide services for other computer programs and their users. Such as email, web, gaming, music
- 4. is a physical or virtual appliance that passes information between two or more packet-switched computer networks. It inspects a given data packet's destination Internet Protocol address (IP address), calculates the best way for it to reach its destination and then forwards it accordingly.
- 6. 2 words, is a tool that allows you to change a program’s settings or alter the way it looks or behaves.
- 8. 3 words, the place where a computer stores data while it is being used or changed. Think of it as a computer’s short-term memory. It doesn’t have unlimited storage, but it makes for quick access to information you’re currently using.
- 11. Millions of computers connected around the world.
- 13. 2 words, refers to a computer’s hard drive or long-term memory. This is where a computer stores information that isn’t being used at the time. If becomes too full, a computer may become sluggish as it takes the time to wade through all that data.
- 14. is the wireless technology used to connect computers through radio signal sent from a wireless router to a nearby device, which translates the signal into data.
- 16. an abbreviation for “binary digit,” the smallest piece of information used by a computer. Each bit is either a 1 or a 0, which are the binary digits that make up computer language. Bits are literally the foundation upon which computer science is built. Since they’re so miniscule, computer whizzes also need to know some basic tech math to think of bits on a larger scale
- 17. is the step by step directions to take input data and generate output that data. input>Algorithm step by step directions> output
- 19. providing information to the computer from the keyboard or mouse
- 20. refers to different programming languages used to create, edit or manage computer programs or applications. Most computer science students will specialize in a small handful of coding languages depending on the career they’d like to pursue.
- 21. set of programs, procedures, and routines associated with the operation of a computer system. The term was coined to differentiate these instructions from hardware—i.e., the physical components of a computer system.
- 22. It’s a system connecting a number of computers or devices to the same network, allowing for fast, monitored transmission of data.they have restricted network access that’s managed by a handful of system administrators, making it a secure network solution for many companies.
- 24. Area Network This is a small computer network, often located within just a single room. (Think your school network.)
- 25. is a coding language used to write Internet-based documents, like websites. It’s one of the basic coding languages
Down
- 1. 3 words, it is the processing chip and "brains" of a computer.
- 3. This term refers to the amount of information that can be transmitted or processed, either wirelessly or across a hardwired connection. Internet services will advertise fast speeds measured so it is a well-known component of the IT world.
- 5. It is a hardware component that allows a computer or another device, such as a router or switch, to connect to the Internet. ... Similarly, it converts digital data from a computer or other device into an analog signal that can be sent over standard telephone lines.
- 7. refers to the process of finding and removing errors from a program's source code. The goal is for programmers to discover and fix bugs before their end user experiences problems.
- 9. 2 words, is an alternative to storing data on a computer’s physical storage. Information that’s stored “on the cloud” is kept on remote servers that can be accessed anywhere via the Internet.
- 10. Takes the input data and generates an out come such as your mouse( input) clicks on a video, your screen and speakers output images and sounds.
- 12. is a number system that only uses two digits: 1 and 0. All information that is processed by a computer is in the form of a sequence of 1s and 0s. Therefore, all data that we want a computer to process needs to be converted into binary.
- 15. two words, this is a numerical code that identifies a specific computer on the Internet. Think of it as a computer’s unique Social Security Number.
- 16. is a programming error that causes unexpected glitches or problems for a program’s end user.
- 18. Quite simply, computer hardware is the physical components that a computer system requires to function. It encompasses everything with a circuit board that operates within a PC or laptop; including the motherboard, graphics card, CPU (Central Processing Unit), ventilation fans, webcam, power supply, and so on.
- 23. This is memory that can only be read from and not written to. Computers use it to store important tasks like start-up processes and software instructions.
