1. USB Purpose: * Allows computer to connect peripheral devices
2. Central Processing Unit: * Brains of computer
*Place where most computations take place
3. Application Software: * Includes word processing programs and PDF document readers
4. Data Management: * Major function of computer operating system
5. Cut and Paste: * Selecting static data from one application
*Copying it to another application
*Required use of temporary memory
6. Network Interface Card: * Card installed in a computer

, 7. MAC Address: * Address embedded in network connected devices
*Uniquely identifies computer on a network
8. Star Topology: * One central node that has each computer or network device attached to the
central node
*All data first goes into central node and then sent out to its destination
-- Like a bicycle wheel with spokes
*Most common topology
9. Tracking Cookies: * Small files that track user's actions and information
10. Thread: * Initial post with subsequent comments
11. Gantt Chart: * Time and activity bar chart
*Identifies and sequences project tasks
12. Knowledge Management System: * Database of:
-- Internal reports and articles
