the internet.
6. Mainframe computers Massive, room-sized computers
that process and store enormous amounts of bulk data and
information
7. Midrange Computers less powerful and smaller in
physical size than mainframe computers, but do many of
the same things, simply on a smaller scale
8. Microcomputer The least Powerful computers in terms
of processing and come in for typical configurations:

of a computer screen designs that a user to interact with
an electron it
15. Process Any task a computer performs.
16. Cache A hardware or software component that
stores data so that future requests for that data can be
served faster.

that allows data to be accessed in any order without
physical movement of the silicone media.
18. Registers A location in a store of data used for a
specific purpose and with quick access time.
19. Virtual Memory Memory that appears to exist as
main storage although most of it is supported by data held
in secondary storage, transfer between the two being
made automatically as required.
20. Solid State Drive (SSD) Device that uses integrated
circuit assemblies as memory to store data persistently,
typically using flash memory.
21. Disk Storage Non-volatile, secondary storage that is
recorded to a physical device like a hard drive or optical
disk with a read/write apparatus.
22. Optical disk A computer desk that uses optical
storage techniques and technology to read and write data.
23. File Allocation Table (FAT) A table of contacts that
directs the read/write Arm of the hard drive to the location
, where data exist and access is the data upon the users
request.
24. word processor An application software you use
to create, compose, edit, format, and print documents.
25. Database Management System (DBMS) An application
software that is used to create a collection of related files
that consist of records of data separated by fields can be
queried to produce populations of information.
26. presentation software And application software
used to present information in a slideshow format.
27. software suite A collection of business computer
application programs of associated Functionality that share
come graphical user interace and have the capability to
smoothly exchange data across the programs.
28. object linking and embedding (OLE) A Microsoft
technology that allows the user to share information and
data from an entire area in one application and part of
another application.

defining characteristic of application software?
30. System and application What are the two basic
categories of software?
