B. Computer terms and meaning:
1. Access - Computers.
to locate (data) for transfer from one part of a computer system to another,
generally between an external storage device and main storage.
2. Bit -A bit (short for "binary digit") is the
smallest unit of measurement used to quantify computer
data. It contains a single
binary value of 0 or 1.
3. Browse - In
database
systems,
browse means to view
data. Many database
systems
support a
special
browse mode , in which you
can flip through
fields
and
records quickly.
Usually, you cannot modify data while you are in browse mode. To view formatted
documents. For example, you look at Web pages with a
Web browser.
Browse is often used to mean the
same as
surf.
5. Byte - Abbreviation for binary term, a unit of storage
capable of holding a single character. On almost all modern computers, a byte
is equal to 8 bits.
6. Clipboard - A special file or memory area (buffer) where
data is stored temporarily before being copied to another location.
7. Cache - A special high-speed storage mechanism. It can be
either a reserved section of main memory or an independent high-speed storage
device.
8. Configure - The way a system is set up. Configuration can
refer to either hardware or software, or the combination of both.
9. Customize - to modify or build according to individual or personal
specifications or preference: to customize an automobile.
10. Data - Data is distinct information that is formatted in
a special way. Data exists in a variety of forms, like text on paper or bytes
stored in electronic memory.
11. Debug - Computer programmers, like everybody else, are
not perfect. This means the programs they write sometimes have small errors,
called "bugs," in them. These bugs can be minor, such as not
recognizing user input, or more serious, such as a memory leak that crashes the
program. Before releasing their software to the public, programmers
"debug" their programs, eliminating as many errors as possible. This
debugging process often takes a long time, as fixing some errors may introduce
others. Debugging your windshield at a gas station is much easier than
debugging a computer program.
12. Default - A value or setting that a
device or
program automatically
selects if you do not specify a substitute. For example,
word processors
have default
margins
and default
page
lengths that you can override or reset.
15. Download- To copy data (usually an entire file) from a
main source to a peripheral device.
16. Footer - One or
more lines of
text that
appear at the bottom of every
page of a
document. Once you
specify what text should appear in the footer, the
application
automatically
inserts
it.
17. Format - To prepare a storage medium, usually a disk,
for reading and writing.
18. Hardware - Computer hardware refers to objects that you
can actually touch, like disks, disk drives, display screens, keyboards,
printers, boards, and chips.
19. Header - In many disciplines of computer science, a
header is a unit of information that precedes a data object.
20. Hyperlink - An element in an electronic document that
links to another place in the same document or to an entirely different
document.
21. Icons - small
picture that represents an object or program.
22. Indent - The word indent is used to describe the
distance, or number of blank spaces used to separate a paragraph from the left
or right margins.
23. Justify - alternatively referred to as
align or
alignment,
justify is a term used to describe how
text is aligned. For
example, text that is justified to the left creates a straight line of text on
the left-hand side of the
page (like this
paragraph). Text can be aligned along the edge of a
page,
cell,
div,
table, or other
visible or non-visible line. Below are some different examples of aligned text.
24. Launch - is a term used to describe the opening or
execution of a
program or task.
25. Menu - A list of commands or options from which you can
choose.
26. Output - Anything that comes out of a computer. Output
can be meaningful information or gibberish, and it can appear in a variety of
forms.
27. Peopleware - A term first coined by
Peter G. Neuman
in
1977,
peopleware
refers to the role people play in technology and the development of hardware or
software. It can include various aspects of the process such as human
interaction, programming, productivity, teamwork, and other factors.
28. Peripheral - Alternatively referred to as an
auxiliary
device, a
peripheral is
hardware that
allows a computer to perform an additional function, but is not something the
computer needs in order to work. Below are some good examples of computer
peripherals.
29. Program - An organized list of instructions that, when
executed, causes the computer to behave in a predetermined manner. Without
programs, computers are useless.
30. Redo - Redo is a function performed on a computer
that does any undo function again. For example, if you deleted text and perform
an undo, then decide that you wanted that text deleted again, you could do a
redo.
31. Register - When referring to a computer processor an
internal
register,
internal data bus, or
register refers to how much
information a processor can process at one time and how it moves within the
chip. The register size can be 16, 32, or 64-
bits wide, which allow
instructions up to the register size. If a program is designed to process
64-bit instructions, a processor with a 32-bit register would not be able to
run the program.
32. Software- Sometimes abbreviated as
SW and
S/W,
software is a collection of
instructions that
enable the user to interact with a computer or have it perform specific tasks
for them. Without software, computers would be useless. For example, without
your Internet
browser
software you would be unable to surf the Internet or read this page and without
a software
operating
system the browser would not be able to run on your computer. In the
picture is a Microsoft Excel software box and an example of a software program.
33. Storage -
Alternatively referred to as
storage,
storage media, or
storage
medium, a
storage device is any
hardware capable
of holding information. There are two types of storage devices used in
computers; a
primary
storage device, such as
RAM, and a
secondary storage
device, like a
hard
drive. Secondary storage can be a
removable,
internal, or
external storage.
The picture shows an example of a
Drobo, an external
secondary storage device.
34. Undo - Undo is a function performed to reverse the
action of an earlier action. For example, a user may mistakenly delete text in
a
Word Processor
and use the
undo function to undo that deletion. Some software programs
may have the capability of performing multiple undo's.
35. Upload -
Upload is a term used to describe the
process of transferring (sending) a file to another computer through a
modem or
network. Below are
a few examples of how a file may be uploaded to another computer.
36. Window – A section of the computer's display in a
GUI that shows the
program currently being used. For example, the
browser window that
you are using to view this
web page is a
window.
Windows allow a user to work with multiple programs or view multiple programs
at once. Almost all windows allow you to
minimize and
maximize them,
allowing you to hide and view a program temporarily. Below is an example of
what a Microsoft Windows window may look like and each of its major functions,
also known as the
window elements.
