The evolution of software has produced the ability to manage large databases of information,
known as ✔✔database management systems (DBMS)
was the first computer software language for business applications ✔✔Common Business
Oriented Language (COBOL)
is a programming environment that provides tools to developers to write code. ✔✔Integrated
Development Environment (IDE)
components include devices that provide input into the processing unit. These include peripherals,
such as the keyboard, mouse, microphone (audio input), sensors, and document or visual scanners.
✔✔Input
which is the brain of the computer. Historically, this unit included several components, such as a
control unit, a processor, an arithmetic or logic unit, and memory components. ✔✔Central
Processing Unit (CPU)
components include primary temporary storage and secondary long-term storage devices.
✔✔Storage
is temporary or short-term storage used by the processor. ✔✔Random Access Memory (RAM)
components include internal storage devices or processes, as well as external peripherals such as
monitor screens (visual output), speakers (audio output), and printers (physical output). ✔✔Output
which is the medium through which communications between the input, processor, storage, and
output occur. ✔✔System Bus
or similarly the backplane, of a system is the device that contains the system bus and connects the
various input and output devices that compose any given computer system. ✔✔Motherboard
tracking barcodes and wireless sensor networks, some used in supply chain operations. ✔✔radio
frequency identification (RFID)
A person interacts with digital data through a physical environment. ✔✔Tangible User Interface
(TUI)
is the most advanced integrated circuit and holds millions of integrated circuits in a semiconductor
chip. They are programmable devices that process instructions and incorporate the four functions
of a computer central processing unit (CPU), which includes fetch, decode, execute and store.
✔✔Microprocessor
A chip with multiple CPUs is called a ........ This typically provides more computing power for
they can run multiple instructions in parallel. ✔✔Multicore processor
coined by the co-founder of Intel, described that components in integrated circuits or microchips
will double every two years. ✔✔Moore's Law
otherwise known as CPU cache and random access memory (RAM), are typically referred to as
volatile flash memory, meaning that information storage is temporary and can only be stored until
power is removed. ✔✔Primary Storage
is accessed only through a system's input/output bus and is generally several orders of magnitude
slower than primary storage technologies. On the other hand, costs per byte for ........... have
historically been quite a bit less than primary storage technologies. Examples of ............. include
magnetic hard disk drives, which are spinning magnetic disks with moving read and write heads,
as well as newer, more modern solid state nonvolatile flash storage. ............. also includes
removable media, such as magnetic floppy disks, optical discs (CDs & DVDs), and USB flash
drives. ✔✔Secondary Storage
Small systems are used on a
