Essay Questions
Question 28:
Describe all the parts of an information system.
An information system typically consists of: people, procedures, software, hardware, data,
and connectivity. Information systems are used by people in order to increase productivity.
Procedures are rules or guidelines for people to follow when using software, hardware, and
data. Software is a program that contains the step-by-step instructions that tell the computer
how to do its work. Hardware consists of the physical equipment that processes the data to
create information. Data consists of raw unprocessed facts, including text, numbers, images,
and sounds. Almost all of today's computer systems add an additional part to the information
system. This part, called connectivity, typically uses the Internet and allows users to greatly
expand the capability and usefulness of their information systems.

Question 29:
Where would it be most relevant to use the term "data" and the term
"information?" Give an example of each.
Data are unprocessed facts, including text, numbers, images and sounds. An example might
be a listing of all customer purchases at a bookstore over the last year. Information is
processed data that has been rendered usable with the help of various types of software.
From the previous example, you could derive information such as the addresses of
customers who bought more than $500 worth of books or the year's top ten horror novels.

Question 30:
What is an operating system? Give two examples.
Operating systems are programs that coordinate computer resources, provide an interface
between users and the computer, and run applications. Microsoft's Windows 8 and Apple's
Mac OS X are two of the best-known operating systems for today's microcomputer users.

Question 28:
What is application software? Describe the two categories of application
software.
Application software might be described as end user software. Three types of application
software are general-purpose, specialized, and mobile apps. General-purpose applications
are widely used in a large number of careers. Some of the best-known general-purpose
application programs are Microsoft's Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint. Specialized
applications include thousands of other programs that are more narrowly focused on specific
disciplines and occupations. Two of the best known are graphics and web authoring
programs. Mobile apps (or mobile applications or apps) are small programs designed for
mobile devices such as smartphones, tablet computers, and other mobile devices. There are
over half a millions apps. The most popular mobile apps are for social networking, playing
games, and downloading music and videos.

Question 29:

P a g e 85 | 96
 ]Questions All Chapter[ ITBIS105

Differentiate between a supercomputer and a mainframe computer?

Supercomputers are the most powerful type of computer. These machines are special
highcapacity computers used by very large organizations. Although mainframe computers
are not as powerful as supercomputers, mainframe computers are capable of great
processing speeds and data storage. For example, insurance companies use mainframes to
process information about millions of policyholders.

Question 30:
Differentiate between midrange and personal computers.
Midrange computers, also referred to as servers, are computers with processing capabilities
less powerful than a mainframe computer yet more powerful that a microcomputer. Originally
used by medium-sized companies or departments of large companies to support their
processing needs, today midrange computers are most widely used to support or serve end
users for specific needs such as retrieving data from a database or supplying access to
application software. Personal computers are the least powerful, yet the most widely used,
type of computer. There are four types of personal computers: desktop computers, laptops,
tablets, and mobile devices.

Question 28:
Describe the different types of personal computers and provide relevant
examples of each.
There are four types of personal computers: desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile
devices. Desktop computers are small enough to fit on top of or alongside a desk yet are too
big to carry around. Laptop computers, also called notebook computers, are portable,
lightweight, and fit into most briefcases. Tablets, also known as tablet computers, are
smaller, lighter, and generally less powerful than laptops. Like a laptop, tablets have a flat
screen but typically do not have a standard keyboard. Instead tablets typically use a virtual
keyboard that appears on the screen and is touch sensitive. The best know tablet is Apple's
iPad. Mobile devices, also known as handheld computers, are the smallest microcomputers
and are designed to fit into the palm of one hand. These systems contain an entire computer
system, including the electronic components, secondary storage, and input and output
devices. Smartphones are the most widely used handheld computers.

Question 29:
In reference to personal computer hardware, explain the system unit.
The system unit is a container that houses most of the electronic components that make up a
computer system. Two important components of the system unit are the microprocessor and
memory. The microprocessor controls and manipulates data to produce information. Memory
is a holding area for data, instructions, and information. One type of memory, random-access
memory (RAM), holds the program and data that is currently being processed. This type of
memory is sometimes referred to as temporary storage because its contents will typically be
lost if the electrical power to the computer is disrupted.

P a g e 86 | 96
 ]Questions All Chapter[ ITBIS105

Question 30:
Describe secondary storage? Compare and contrast hard disks and solid-
state storage.
Unlike memory, secondary storage holds data and programs even after electrical power to
the computer system has been turned off. Hard disks are typically used to store programs
and very large data files. Using rigid metallic platters and read/write heads that move across
the platters, hard disks store and retrieve data using magnetic charges. In contrast, solid-
state storage does not have any moving parts. It is more reliable and requires less power
than hard disks. Solidstate storage saves data electronically in a manner similar to RAM
except that its contents will not be lost if electrical power is disrupted.

Question 28:
Describe the four types of files.
Document files are created by word processors. They include such things as memos, term
papers, and letters. Worksheet files are created by electronic spreadsheets and are typically
used to analyze things like budgets and to predict sales. Database files are created by
database management programs to contain highly structured and organized data.
Presentation files are created by presentation graphics programs to save presentation
materials, including audience handouts, speaker notes, and electronic slides.

Question 29:
Describe the evolution of the Internet and web.
The Internet was launched in 1969 when the United States funded a project to develop a
national computer network called Advanced Research Project Agency Network (ARPANET).
The Internet is a large network that connects together smaller networks all over the globe.
Initially, the Internet was all text—no graphics, animations, sound, or video. The web was
introduced in 1991 at the Center for European Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland and
added a multimedia interface to the resources available on the Internet.

Question 30:
Define the parts of a URL.
For browsers to connect to resources on the Internet, the address of the resources must be
specified. These addresses are called uniform resource locators or URLs. All URLs have at
least two basic parts. The protocol is the first part of the address and specifies which protocol
(set of rules for exchanging data) to use when connecting to the Internet resources. In the
example, http://www.espn.com, the protocol is http. The protocol http is used for web traffic
and is the most widely used Internet protocol. The second part of the URL is the domain
name, for example www.espn.com. This indicates the specific address where the resource is
located. The part of the domain name following the dot (.) is the top-level domain. It identifies
the type of organization. A ".com" top-level domain indicates a commercial site.

Question 28:
Describe the various technologies used to provide highly interactive and
animated websites. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are files inserted into an HTML document
that control the appearance of web pages including layout, colors, and fonts. CSS helps to
ensure that related web pages have a consistent presentation or look. JavaScriptis a
language often used within HTML documents to trigger interactive features, such as opening
new browser windows and checking information entered in online forms. AJAX, an advanced
use of JavaScript, is used to create interactive websites that respond quickly. Applets are
programs that can be downloaded quickly and run by most browsers. They are used to
present animation, display graphics, provide interactive games, and much more.
Question 29:
Briefly explain how instant messaging works.
Instant messaging (IM) is an extension of e-mail that allows two or more people to contact
each other via direct, live communication. To use instant messaging, you specify a list of
friends and register with an instant messaging server. Whenever you connect to the Internet,
special software informs your messaging server that you are online. In response, the server
will notify you if any of your contacts are online. At the same time, it notifies your friends that
you are online. You can then send messages directly back and forth to one another.

Question 30:
Describe a wiki and explain how a wiki differs from a blog.
A wiki is a website designed to allow visitors to use their browser to add, edit, or delete that
site's content. Wikis support collaborative writing in which there is not a single expert author,
but rather a community of interested people that builds knowledge over time. Although blogs
may have multiple authors, community feedback is limited to adding comments to the site.
Blogs are not a collaborative effort like wikis.

Question 28:
Explain how a search engine works.
To use a search website, you enter a keyword or phrase reflecting the information you want.
The search engine compares your entry against its database and returns a list of hits, or sites
that contain the keywords. Each hit includes a link to the referenced web page (or other
resource) along with a brief discussion of the information contained at that location. Many
searches result in a large number of hits. For example, if you were to enter the keyword
music, you would get billions of hits. Search engines order the hits according to those sites
that most likely contain the information requested and present the list to you in that order,
usually in groups of 10.

Question 29:
Discuss the four elements to consider when evaluating the content and
accuracy of information on the web.
There are four elements to consider when evaluating the accuracy of information on the web:
authority, accuracy, objectivity, and currency. Authority refers to the author's expertise on the
subject. Is the site an official site for the information presented, or is the site an individual's

P a g e 88 | 96
 ]Questions All Chapter[ ITBIS105

personal website? In order to determine the accuracy of a website, consider whether or not
the information has been critically reviewed for correctness prior to posting on the web. Does
the website provide a method to report inaccurate information to the authors? Objectivity is
reached when the information is factually reported without an author bias. Finally, currency is
the timeliness of the website. Is the information up to date? Does the site specify the date
when the site was last updated?

Question 30:
Describe both the advantages, and the disadvantages associated with
electronic commerce.
Electronic commerce, also known as e-commerce, is the buying and selling of goods over
the Internet. The underlying reason for the rapid growth in e-commerce is that it provides
incentives for both buyers and sellers. From the buyer's perspective, goods and services can
be purchased at any time of day or night. Traditional commerce is typically limited to
standard business hours when the seller is open. Additionally, buyers no longer have to
physically travel to the seller's location. From the seller's perspective, the costs associated
with owning and operating a retail outlet can be eliminated. Another advantage is reduced
inventory. Some of the disadvantages include the inability to provide immediate delivery of
goods, the inability to "try on" prospective purchases, and questions relating to the security of
online payments.

Question 28:
Describe the two greatest challenges for e-commerce.
The two greatest challenges for e-commerce is the development of (1) fast, secure, and
reliable payment methods for purchased goods and (2) providing convenient ways to provide
required information such as mailing addresses and credit card information.

Question 29:
Compare and contrast the four most common types of system units.
The four most common types of system units are: desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile
devices. The desktop system unit can be placed horizontally (desktop) or vertically (tower).
All input and output devices are located outside the system unit. Laptops are portable and
much smaller. Their system units are housed with selected secondary storage devices and
input devices. Located outside the system unit, the monitor is attached by hinges. Laptops
are often called notebooks. Tablets, also known as tablet computers, are the newest and one
of the most popular types of computer. They are effectively a thin slab that is all monitor with
the system unit located behind the monitor. Tablets are smaller, lighter, and generally less
powerful than laptop computers. Like a laptop, tablets have a flat screen but typically do not
have a standard keyboard. Instead tablets typically use a virtual keyboard that appears on
the screen and is touch-sensitive. Mobile devices, also known as handheld computers, are
the smallest and are designed to comfortably fit into the palm of one hand. These systems

P a g e 89 | 96
 ]Questions All Chapter[ ITBIS105

contain an entire computer system, including the electronic components, secondary storage,
and input and output devices. By far the most popular mobile device is the smartphone. It
greatly extends the capabilities of a cell phone by providing computing power. In addition to
capturing and sending audio and video, smartphones run apps, connect to the Internet, and
more.

Question 30:
Describe the character encoding schemes.
The three character encoding schemes are ASCII, EBCDIC, and Unicode. Historically,
personal computers used the ASCII to represent characters, while mainframe computers
used EBCDIC. These schemes were quite effective; however, they are limited. ASCII, for
example, only uses 7 bits to represent each character, which means that only 128 total
characters could be represented. This was fine for most characters in the English language
but was not large enough to support other languages such as Chinese and Japanese. These
languages have too many characters to be represented by the 7-bit ASCII code.

Question 28:
How is the multicore chip useful for personal computers?
At one time, personal computers were limited by microprocessors that could support a single
CPU that controlled operations. These computers were limited to processing one program at
a time. Now, many personal computers have multicore processors that can provide two or
more separate and independent CPUs. More significantly, however, is the potential for
personal computers to run very large, complex programs that previously required expensive
and specialized hardware.

Question 29:
Explain expansion slots and cards.
Many personal computers allow users to expand their systems by providing expansion slots
on the system board. Users can insert optional devices known as expansion cards into these
slots. Ports on the cards allow cables to be connected from the expansion cards to devices
outside the system unit. Some of the most commonly used expansion cards include graphics
cards, sound cards, network interface cards, and wireless network cards.

Question 30:
Explain Plug and Play.
Plug and Play was originally a set of specific hardware and software standards
developed by Intel, Microsoft, and others. As hardware and software has
evolved, however, Plug and Play has become a generic term that is associated
with the ability to plug any device into a computer and have it play or work
immediately.

P a g e 90 | 96
 ]Questions All Chapter[ ITBIS105

Question 29:
Describe the three principal types of expansion buses.
The principal types of expansion buses are: USB, FireWire, and PCIe. Universal Serial Bus
(USB) is widely used today. External USB devices are connected from one to another or to a
common point or hub and then onto the USB bus. The USB bus then connects to the PCI
bus on the system board. The current USB standard is USB 3.0. The FireWire bus is similar
to USB buses and is used primarily to connect audio and video equipment to the system
board. PCI Express (PCIe) is widely used in many of today's most powerful computers.
Unlike most other buses that share a single bus line or path with several devices, the PCIe
bus provides a single dedicated path for each connected device.

Question 30:
Describe specialty ports including eSATA, HDMI, MIDI, MiniDP, and
Thunderbolt.
External Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (eSATA) ports provide high-speed
connections for external hard disk drives, optical disks, and other large secondary storage
devices. High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) ports provide high-definition video and
audio, making it possible to use a computer as a video jukebox or an HD video recorder.
Musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) ports are a special type of serial port for
connecting musical instruments
like an electronic keyboard to a sound card. The sound card converts the music into a series
of digital instructions. These instructions can be processed immediately to reproduce the
music or saved to a file for later processing. Mini DisplayPort (MiniDP or mDP) ports are an
audiovisual port typically used to connect large monitors. These ports are used with many
Apple Macintosh computers. Thunderbolt ports, first introduced in Apple's MacBook Pro
computer, provide highspeed connections. A single port can connect up to seven separate
devices connected one to another. Thunderbolt ports promise to replace a number of
different types of ports including Mini DisplayPorts.

Question 28:
Describe some recommendations to avoid health risks associated with
computer use.
Computer users can alleviate problems by taking frequent rest breaks and by using well-
designed computer furniture. To make the computer easier on the eyes, take a 15-minute
break every hour or two. To help avoid back and neck problems, make sure your equipment
is adjustable. Use ergonomically correct keyboards to help prevent injury from heavy
computer use.

Question 29:
How does an optical scanner work?
Often called a scanner, an optical scanner scans image or text documents and converts
them to machine-readable form. These devices do not recognize individual letters or images.
Rather, they recognize light, dark, and colored areas that make up individual letters or

P a g e 91 | 96
 ]Questions All Chapter[ ITBIS105

images. Typically, scanned documents are saved in files that can be further processed,
displayed, printed, or stored for later use.

Question 30:
How does a bar code reader work?
Bar code readers are used extensively in almost all supermarkets. At the checkout counter,
electronic cash registers use a bar code reader that contains photoelectric cells that scan each or
read each product's bar code. The codes are sent to the supermarket's computer, which has a
description, the latest price, and an inventory level for each product. The computer processes this
input to update the inventory level and to provide the electronic cash register with the description and
price for each product.

Question 29:
What are character and mark recognition devices? Describe their uses.
Character and mark recognition devices are scanners that can recognize special characters
and marks. Magnetic-ink character recognition (MICR) devices are used by banks to
automatically read numbers on the bottom of checks and deposit slips. Optical-character
recognition (OCR) uses special pre-printed characters that can be read by a light source and
changed into machine-readable code. They are used in department stores to read retail price
tags. Optical-mark recognition (OMR) senses the presence or absence of a mark, such as a
pencil mark. OMR is often used to score standardized multiple-choice tests.

Question 30:
How is voice recognition technology being used today?
Voice-recognition systems use a microphone, a sound card, and special software. These
systems allow users to operate computers and other devices as well as to create documents
using voice commands. Examples include voice-controlled dialing features on mobile
phones, navigation on GPS devices, and control of car audio systems. Specialized portable
devices are used by doctors, lawyers, and others to record dictation.

Question 28:
Describe the basic distinguishing features of monitors that affect clarity
including resolution, dot pitch, contrast ratio, size, and aspect ratio.
Resolution is one of the most important features. Images are formed on a monitor by a series
of dots or pixels (picture elements). Resolution is expressed as a matrix of these dots or
pixels. For example, many monitors today have a resolution of 1,600 pixel columns by 1,200
pixel rows for a total of 1,920,000 pixels. The higher a monitor's resolution (the more pixels),
the clearer the image produced. Dot (pixel) pitch is the distance between each pixel. Most
monitors have a dot pitch of .31 mm (31/100th of a millimeter) or less. The lower the dot pitch
(the shorter the distance between pixels), the clearer the images produced. Contrast ratio
indicate a monitor's ability to display colors. It compares the light intensity of the brightest

P a g e 92 | 96
 ]Questions All Chapter[ ITBIS105

white to the darkest black. Good monitors typically have contrast ratios between 500:1 to
2000:1. Size, or active display area, is measured by the diagonal length of a monitor's
viewing area. Common sizes are 15, 17, 19, 21, and 24 inches. Aspect ratio indicates the
proportional relationship between a display's width and height. Almost all newer monitors
have a 16:9 aspect ratio designed to display widescreen content.

Question 29:
What is HDTV? What is 3D HDTV?
High-definition television (HDTV) delivers a much clearer and more detailed wide-screen
picture than regular television. Because the output is digital, users can readily freeze video
sequences to create high-quality still images. The video and still images can then be
digitized, edited, and stored on disk for later use. This technology is very useful to graphic
artists, designers, and publishers. One of the most recent and dramatic advances is 3D HDTV.
Using special viewing glasses, 3D HDTV provides theater-quality three-dimensional viewing.

Question 30:
What is a multifunctional device? What are the advantages/disadvantages
of such a device?
A multifunctional device (MFD) typically combines the capabilities of a scanner, printer, fax,
and copy machine. They cost about the same as a good printer or copy machine but require
much less space than the single-function devices they replace. Their disadvantage is that the
quality and functionality are not quite as good as those of the separate single-purpose
devices. The output quality for any one function is often not quite as good as that of the
separate singlepurpose devices. The reliability of multifunctional devices suffers because
problems with one of the functional parts can make the entire device inoperable.

Question 29:
What is VoIP and how does it work?
Voice over IP (VoIP) is a set of standards or technologies that support voice and other types
of communication over the Internet. Telephony, also known as Internet telephony, is the VoIP
application that uses the Internet rather than traditional telephone lines to support voice
communication. To place telephone calls using Internet telephony requires a high-speed
Internet connection and a service provider. Many cable service providers offer bundles
including Internet, telephone, and television. While these bundles offer a price break, there
are other lower-cost options for telephony from a variety of providers including PhonePower,
Phone.com and Skype.

Question 30:
Describe the four basic elements of most communication systems.
Whether wired or wireless, every communication system has four basic elements. 1. Sending
and receiving devices, which are either computers or specialized communication devices. They
accept and send messages. 2. Connection devices act as an interface between the sending and
receiving devices and the communication channel. They convert outgoing messages into packets
that can travel across the communication channel. 3. Data transmission specifications are the
rules and procedures that coordinate the sending and receiving devices by precisely defining
how the message will be sent across the communications channel. 4. A communication channel
is the actual connecting or transmission medium that carries the message (physical wire or cable,
or wireless connection).

Question 28:
Describe the differences between the three major physical connection
mediums: twisted-pair cable, coaxial cable, and fiber-optic cable.
Twisted-pair cable is made up of hundreds of copper wires that are twisted together. Both
telephone lines and ethernet cables use twisted-pair. Coaxial cable is a high-frequency
transmission cable made up of a single solid-copper core. Coaxial cable has over 80 times
the transmission capacity of twisted pair and is used to deliver television signals as well as to
connect computers in a network. Fiber-optic cable transmits data as pulses of light through
tiny tubes of glass. Fiber-optic cable has over 26,000 times the transmission capacity of
twisted pair. It is lighter and more reliable than coaxial cable.

Question 29:
Explain how global positioning functions.
One of the most interesting applications of satellite communications is for global positioning.
A network of satellites owned and managed by the Department of Defense continuously
sends location information to earth. Global positioning system (GPS) devices use that
information to uniquely determine the geographic location of the device. Available in many
automobiles to provide navigational support, these systems are often mounted into the dash
with a monitor to display maps and speakers to provide spoken directions. Many of today's
smartphones and tablets use GPS technology for handheld navigation.

Question 30:
Differentiate between analog and digital signals.
Analog signals are continuous electronic waves. Telephones send and receive data in the
form of analog signals. Digital signals represent the presence or absence of an electronic
pulse. Computers send and receive data in the form of digital signals.

Question 30:
Compare the high speed connection services: DSL, cable, satellite, and
cellular services.
Digital subscriber lines (DSL) use existing telephone lines to provide high-speed connections.
Cable service uses existing television cables to provide high-speed connections that are
faster than DSL. Satellite connection services use satellites to provide wireless connections.
These can be slower than DSL and cable modems, but are available almost anywhere using
a satellitereceiving disk. Cellular service providers, including Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and T-
Mobile, support voice and data transmission to wireless devices.

Question 28:
Describe the four categories of bandwidth.
The four categories of bandwidth are voiceband, mediumband, broadband, and baseband.
Voiceband, also known as low bandwidth, is used for standard telephone communication.
Personal computers with standard telephone modems and dial-up service use this
bandwidth. While effective for transmitting text documents, it is too slow for many types of
transmission, including high-quality audio and video. Mediumband is the bandwidth used in
special leased lines to connect midrange computers and mainframes as well as to transmit
data over long distances. This bandwidth is capable of very high speed data transfer.
Broadband is widely used for DSL, cable, and satellite connections to the Internet. Several
users can simultaneously use a single broadband connection for high-speed data transfer.
Baseband is widely used to connect individual computers that are located close to one
another. Like broadband, baseband is able to support high-speed transmission. Unlike
broadband, baseband can only carry a single signal at one time.

Question 29:
What is a WLAN? How does it work?
A wireless local area network is typically referred to as a wireless LAN (WLAN). It uses radio
frequencies to connect computers and other devices. All communications pass through the
network's centrally located wireless access point or base station. This access point interprets
incoming radio frequencies and routes communications to the appropriate devices.

Question 30:
Differentiate between a client/server network and a peer-to-peer network.
In a client/server network, each node connects to the server. The server is in charge of
distributing resources among the clients. In a peer-to-peer network, any computer in the
network can be either a client or a server.

Question 30:
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a peer-to-peer
system?
The primary advantage of P2P networks is that they are easy and inexpensive (often free) to
setup and use. One disadvantage is the lack of security controls or other common
management functions.

Question 28:
Explain how intranets and extranets are useful in supporting
communication in an organization?
An intranet is a private network within an organization that resembles the Internet. Typical
applications include electronic telephone directories, e-mail addresses, employee benefit
information, internal job openings, and much more. Employees find surfing their
organizational intranets to be as easy and as intuitive as surfing the Internet. An extranet is a
private network that connects more than one organization. Many organizations use Internet
technologies to allow suppliers and others limited access to their networks. The purpose is to
increase efficiency and reduce costs.
