20 short/longish answer questions. You will have roughly 50 minutes to complete 20 questions. This
gives you about 2.5 minutes per question. Each question is worth a maximum of 5 points. I will give
partial credit for partial correctness. You will most likely get an “A” if you have mastered the
following concepts and terminology:
Moore’s Law: the speed of a processor doubles every 18 months.
, o This explains why technology is becoming cheaper to use.
o Almost no financial barrier for using computers for everything
Few would pay to have access to Facebook
Synchronous communications: communication where all members are present. (real time
communications)
o Meetings, conference calls, instant messaging, phone calls
o Skype, WebEx, Facetime
Asynchronous communications: communication where members are not present.
o Mail, email, survey, discussion board o Google Docs, Office 365
Five necessary data characteristics
1. Accurate → data must be correct
2. Timely → current or relevant for the time period of the industry
3. Relevant → applies to a task or goal
More of an issue now (accessible irrelevant data)
4. Just barely sufficient →too much information makes the job harder than it needs to be
5. Worth its cost → computing is free but storage has cost
