1.

Input device: piece of computer hardware equipment used to provide data and control signals to an
information processing system such as a computer or other information appliance. Examples of input devices include keyboards, mice, scanners, digital cameras and joysticks. Output device: piece of computer hardware equipment used to communicate the results of data processing carried out by an information processing system (such as a computer) which converts the electronically generated information into human-readable form.

2. In the hardware, computer category, there are four major groups of computers. They are the Supercomputer, mainframe, mini and micro-computer. Their definition is largely historical and an outgrowth of the different requirements that each computer generation was created for. 3. Web publishing, or "online publishing," is the process of publishing content on the Internet. It includes creating and uploading websites, updating webpages, and posting blogs online. In order to publish content on the web, you need three things: 1) web development software, 2) an Internet connection, and 3) a web server.The published content may include text, images, videos, and other types of media. 4. Business: Powerpoint (presentation software program) Teamviewer (for remote control, desktop sharing,
online meetings, web conferencing and file transfer between computers)

Graphics and multimedia: Photoshop (graphics editing program) VLC media player ( highly
portable free and open-source cross-platform media player and streaming mediaserver) Home: Kaspersky (Computer Security software) Microsoft Word (word processor)

Personal: Winrar (shareware file archiver and data compression utility) Family tree maker (history
software)

Educational: Rosetta Stone (a computer-assisted language learning program) C++( statically typed, free-form,
multi-paradigm, compiled, general-purpose programming language)

Communications: Skype (free calling software) Yahoo messenger (instant messaging software) 5. Central processing unit, an electronic circuit which executes computer programs, containing a processing unit
and a control unit Graphics processing unit (GPU / VPU), a dedicated graphics rendering device for a personal computer or game console Physics processing unit (PPU), a dedicated microprocessor designed to handle the calculations of physics

6. Fetch : Obtain program instructions or Data files from Memory Decode : Translate Instructions into commands Store : Write result to memory and Excute : Carry out command 7. RAM: Random-access memory is a form of computer data storage ROM (read-only memory) refers to memory chips that only can be read and used; that is, they

cannot be modified. ROM is nonvolatile memory

8. His/her MUA formats the message in email format and uses the Submission Protocol to send the message to the
local mail submission agent (MSA) which could be his/her ISP. The MSA looks at the destination address provided in the SMTP protocol The MSA resolves a domain name to determine the fully qualified domain name of the mail exchange server in the Domain Name System (DNS). The DNS server responds with any MX records listing the mail exchange servers for that domain, Which then sends the message to receiver using SMTP

9. OCR

recognises letters, numerals, punctuation, and related communication symbols. Its main

use is for getting printed text into a form that can be manipulated by a word processor or similar computer program. OMR recognises the presence or absence of marks in pre-determined positions on a sheet of paper. It is what is used for automatically marking multiple choice exams, collating results from surveys and census etc.

10. depends on variety of things. Important factors to consider when evaluating an LCD:Resolution versus
range, Spatial performance.

11. originally redundant array of inexpensive disks is a storage technology that combines multiple disk drive components into a logical unit. Redundant Array of Independent Disks can apply to any multi disk system
designed to increase speed of access or security of data in a computer or externally.

Network-attached storage (NAS) is file-level computer data storage connected to a computer network providing data access to a heterogeneousgroup of clients.NAS simply means Network Attached Storage which could be a
single disk or several in an external enclosure.

12. An optical disc is designed to support one of three recording types: read-only (e.g.: CD and CD-ROM),

recordable (write-once, e.g. CD-R), or re-recordable (rewritable, e.g. CD-RW). Write-once optical discs commonly have an organic dye recording layer between the substrate and the reflective layer. Rewritable discs typically contain an alloy recording layer composed of a phase change material, most often AgInSbTe, an alloy of silver, indium, antimony, and tellurium
