SHORT QUESTIONS ANSWERS
1. What is Office Automation?
Office Automation (OA) refers to the movement towards automating
office tasks. In an office, workers perform different tasks. Many offices
use the computer technology to perform various tasks.
2. What is E-Commerce?
The term e-commerce or e-business describes the transactions
conducted electronically between business partners over computer
network (such as on Internet). The users can buy, sell, and exchange
of products or services via computer network.
3. What is Video Conferencing?

3
Computer Science ICS-I Notes Chapter: 4

A video conference is meeting between two or more geographically

separated people who use a network (i.e., Internet) to transmit audio
and video data) Video conferencing provides a complete simulation of
a normal meeting environment, enabling both parties to see, hear and
present material, just as if they are in the same room.
4. What is Electronic Shopping (E-Shopping)?
Many businesses now have websites that allow Internet users to buy
goods or services. Shopping can take place using a computer at home,
from work or at a cyber cafe and e-shop can be anywhere in the world
and it is open 24 hours a day.
5. What is meant by Electronic Banking?
An electronic banking is also known as cyber-banking. It includes
various banking activities conducted from home, a business, or on the
road instead of a physical bank location.
6. What is robot?
A robot is an automatic programmable machine that moves and
performs mechanical tasks. It means that a robot acts like human
beings. Robot can work in environment that is dangerous for human
beings such as opening chemical packages and packages believed to
contain bombs. It can perform
repetitive tasks continuously without any break, at very high accuracy
than human.
7. What is Computer-Aided Design (CAD)?
Computers are also used for the design of products. The Computer-
Aided Design (CAD) software is used to design the samples, or models
(or prototypes) of the products.
8. What is Computer-Aided Manufacture (CAM)?
Computer-Aided manufacture is a software which uses digital design
output generated by CAD system and controls all the parts of a
manufacturing process.
9. What is Computer Simulation?
A computer simulation is a special type of computer model, which
provides the behavior of a system that might exist outside the
computer (i.e. in the real life). Simulations are often used to train
people or students when:
o It is impossible to build system due to economical problems.

Computer Science ICS-I Notes Chapter: 4

o Direct experimentation is impossible in real life due to

dangerous of the system.
o System is not yet available.

10. What is Computer-Aided Learning (CAL)?

Computer Aided Learning (CAL) could be described as the use of
information technology to assist in the teaching and learning
processes. Information Technology may be able to assist us in
reducing the time spent on creation and maintenance of teaching
materials. It is also reducing the administrative load associated with
teaching and research. CAL is enhancing the learning process.

11. What is Computer-Based Training (CBT)?

Computer-based training is a way to educate people through computer.
Typically, in this method computer is used as an instructor to teach the
students in classroom. The instructions of a particular subject are
received from the computer and are taught to the students. This
method of teaching is like a traditional classroom training method)
