- Software designed to work with windows
- a graphical representation of an application.
- Rectangular area that contains an application.
- actual physical components of the computer system that we can touch.
- refers to the number of Characters that can be stored.
- manage computers hardware and resources; kernal controls all programs and hardware as long as computer is running Kernal in memory and running.
- A finite set of detailed step-by-step instructions written in a computer language to compute a task in a finite amount of time.
-Fake computer programming language code. The code is not written in a computer programming language.
- external programs loaded into memory when needed. Provides service for user. When command in executes program is loaded into memory. The program runs the terminals used by program is released for other programs.
- A finite set of detailed step-by-step instructions written in pseudo code to complete a task in a finite amount of time.
- raw facts; can also be used as a general term to describe many different items.
-fast mechanical electro-mechanical (combination of electrical circuits and gear) electrical symbol manipulating device that follow a set of instruction to complete a task in a finite amount of time.
- a collection of wire through which data is transmitted from one part of a computer to another.
- not in main memory and is considered permanent.
- RAM (random access memory) computers main memory where data is stored temporary. This memory is volatile- if electricity goes off data stored will be lost.
- study of people in there work environment; involves examining physical characteristics of people and the way the function at work.
- Machine running (locked up); turn off machine; clears out memory (wait 10 secs); turn machine back on.
- machine is already running; the system locks up and not allow you to enter command or exit.
- (booting the machine) This is where the operating system is initially loaded into the computers memory when the machine is first turned on for the day.
- data can be accessed without reading past all preceding data. Computer goes directly to where data is stored.
device- data is accessed on record at a time starting with first, Then second and so on.
a window that requires you to enter data or select an item before processing will continue.
- these are programs that are not designed specialty for windows; these programs can run under windows but do not take advantage of windows features.
-controls access to hardware, software, and other resources on a network; provides a centralized storage area for programs, data, and information.
- solve variety of problems; not pre-programmed.
- designed to solve specific problems; hardwired program is built into hardware.
- combine input/ output design of analog computers with the digital computers ability to store instructions and perform accurate calculations.
- program built into hardware
- most common; organizes data into simple math values; 0's and 1's binary; flexible can execute different programs.
- programs that perform a specific task.
- programs that control a computers resources and hardware.
- instructions that direct the operations of a computer.
- describes how two parts work together by being joined.
- a bus that connects a computer to peripheral devices that are external to the computer.
- the code that the program inserts into the document to word wrap.
- the format code that the program inserts into the document when enter is processed. Enter means go to beginning of the next line immediately.
- the process of finding a location on a storage device.
- (hard page break) page break is manually inserted by the user (control + enter)
- (soft page) word automatically inserts page break.
- the computer programs their documentation and the people that use them.
- set or programs that control the hardware and provides services to system software, application software, and users; load onto memory during boot process; Johnvan Newman- had idea of starting program in computers memory.
- A special type of EEPROM that can be erased and reprogrammed in blocks instead of one byte at a time.
- immediate capture and entry of data into the computer for processing.
- data is collected for a period of time and entered into the computer for processing.
- minimize mouse movement; transparent or bright.
- errors made while typing a document the errors were not in the source document.
- two characters reversed
- control center in word; easy access to the tasks performed while creating, editing, formatting a document; consists of tabs, groups, commands.
- immediate processing of data.
- output device that uses a pen attached to a movable arm to draw graphic images on paper.
- a circuit board that converts electronic signals sent by a computer into a term usable by the monitor.
- number of times a screen is scanned per second to maintain an image.
- software that allows peripheral devices to communicate with your computer and other peripheral devices.
- a collections of data or information that has a name called filename. Almost all information stored in a computer must be in a file.
- 1 user; $200- $25,00
- more than 40 users; size of an entire room
- fastest most powerful, most expensive, 100 tons, stores 20,000x data.
- 2-40 users; middle sized, medium price.
- the data that goes into a computer program for processing.
- the results of the computer processing. the results may be printed on paper, the monitor, the speaker, to a file, etc..
- no end
- There is a ending point
