Define the term computer, including its purpose, components, and types of computers. ANSWER: Student responses will vary, but should be drawn from the following information from the text. A computer is an electronic device, operating under the control of instructions stored in its own memory, that can accept data ( input), process the data according to specified rules, produce information ( output), and store the information for future use. Computers contain many electric, electronic, and mechanical components known as hardware. Electronic components in computers process data using instructions, which are the steps that tell the computer how to perform a particular task. A collection of related instructions organized for a common purpose is referred to as software or a program. Using software, you can complete a variety of activities, such as search for information, type a paper, balance a budget, create a presentation, or play a game. One popular category of computer is the personal computer. A personal computer (PC) is a computer that can perform all of its input, processing, output, and storage activities by itself and is intended to be used by one person at a time. Most personal computers today also can communicate with other computers and devices. Types of personal computers include laptops, tablets, and desktops, with the first two sometimes called mobile computers. POINTS: REFERENCES: TOPICS: A mobile computer is a portable personal computer, designed so that a user can carry it from place to place. A user is anyone who interacts with a computer or mobile device, or utilizes the information it generates. 1 1-3 Computers Critical Thinking 17. Define the term, smartphone. Describe how smartphones communicate. List and describe four popular types of messages you can send with smartphones. ANSWER: Student responses will vary, but should be drawn from the following information from the text. A smartphone is an Internet-capable phone that usually also includes a calendar, an address book, a calculator, a notepad, games, and several other apps (which are programs on the smartphone). Other apps are available through an app store that typically is associated with the phone. Page3 Name  : Clas  s: Dat  e: Module 01 - Introducing Today's Technologies Smartphones typically communicate wirelessly with other devices or computers. With most smartphone models, you also can listen to music, take photos, and record videos. POINTS: REFERENCES: TOPICS: Four popular types of messages that you can send with smartphones include voice messages, text messages, picture messages, and video messages. • A voice mail message is a short audio recording sent to or from a smartphone or other mobile device. • A text message is a short note, typically fewer than 300 characters, sent to or from a smartphone or other mobile device. • A picture message is a photo or other image, sometimes along with sound and text, sent to or from a smartphone or other mobile device. • A video message is a short video clip, usually about 30 seconds, sent to or from a smartphone or other mobile device. 1 1-6 Mobile and Game Devices Critical Thinking 18. List and describe uses of computers in home automation. ANSWER: Student responses will vary, but should be drawn from the following information from the text. New home builders and existing homeowners are integrating features that automate a wide variety of tasks, save time and money, and enhance the overall at-home environment. • Lighting: Controlling lighting is one of the more common uses of technology in the home. Remotes turn light fixtures on and off, and motion sensors turn on lights when a car or a visitor approaches the driveway or walkway. • Thermostats: Programmable thermostats adjust to seasonal needs and can be set to control temperatures in individual rooms. Homeowners can use their smartphones to monitor heating and cooling systems, adjust temperatures, and manage energy consumption. • Appliances: Smart appliances, such as dishwashers, can be programmed to run at nonpeak electrical times. Coffeemakers can turn on at set times and shut off if an overheating coffeepot has been left on accidentally. Refrigerators can track expiration dates and create shopping lists. • Security: Security systems can detect break-ins at doors and heat from fires, and they can send text and email messages to alert a homeowner when someone has entered or left the home. Surveillance cameras keep a watchful eye on the premises and interior rooms; homeowners can view the images on televisions and computers within the house or on a webpage when they are away from home. • Remotes: Many people are turning to using their smartphones and tablets to control all the devices in the room. Users enjoy the convenience of customizing apps to operate their television, DVR, and security system and to perform other functions anywhere in the home.

Differentiate between each of the following:   Data and Information Input and Output Page4 Name  : Clas  s: Dat  e: Module 01 - Introducing Today's Technologies  Memory and Storage ANSWER: Student responses will vary, but should be drawn from the following information from the text. Data is a collection of unprocessed items, which can include text, numbers, images, audio, and video. Information conveys meaning to users. Input is entering data into a computer using an input device, such as a keyboard, pointing device, voice, or video. Output is when a computer conveys information using an output device, such as a printer, display, or speakers. POINTS: REFERENCES: TOPICS: Memory consists of electronic components that store instructions waiting to be executed and the data needed by those instructions. Storage holds data, instructions, and information for future use. 1 1-10 - 1-15 Data and Information Critical Thinking 20. Briefly describe each of the following as they relate to digital security and privacy:     Viruses and malware Privacy Health concerns Environmental issues ANSWER: Student descriptions will vary but they should touch on the three technologies listed below:   Malware, short for malicious software, is software that typically acts without a user’s knowledge and deliberately alters the computer’s or mobile device’s operations. Examples of malware include viruses, worms, trojan horses, rootkits, spyware, adware, and zombies. Each of these types of malware attacks your computer or mobile device differently. Some are harmless pranks that temporarily freeze, play sounds, or display messages on your computer or mobile device. Others destroy or corrupt data, instructions, and information stored on the infected computer or mobile device.: Nearly every life event is stored in a computer somewhere ... in medical records, credit reports, tax records, etc. In many instances, where personal and confidential records were not protected properly, individuals have found their privacy violated and identities stolen. Some techniques you can use to protect yourself from identity theft include shredding financial documents before discarding them, never clicking links in unsolicited email messages, and enrolling in a credit monitoring service. Adults, teens, and children around the world are using online social networks to share their photos, videos, journals, music, and other personal information publicly. Some of these unsuspecting, innocent computer users have fallen victim to crimes committed by dangerous strangers. Protect yourself and your dependents from these criminals by being Page5 Name  : Clas  s: Dat  e: Module 01 - Introducing Today's Technologies cautious in email messages and on websites. For example, do not share information that would allow others to identify or locate you, and do not disclose identification numbers, user names, passwords, or other personal security details. A user name is a unique combination of characters, such as letters of the alphabet or numbers, that identifies one specific user. A password is a private combination of characters associated with a user name. POINTS: REFERENCES: TOPICS:  Prolonged or improper computer and mobile device use can lead to injuries or disorders of the hands, wrists, elbows, eyes, neck, and back. Computer and mobile device users can protect themselves from these health risks through proper workplace design, good posture while at the computer, and appropriately spaced work breaks. With the growing use of earbuds and headphones, some users are experiencing hearing loss. Ways to protect your hearing when using these devices were presented earlier in this module. Two behavioral health risks are technology addiction and technology overload. Technology addiction occurs when someone becomes obsessed with using technology. Individuals suffering from technology overload feel distressed when deprived of computers and mobile devices. Once recognized, both technology addiction and technology overload are treatable disorders.:  Manufacturing processes for computers and mobile devices, along with ewaste (discarded computers and mobile devices), are depleting natural resources and polluting the environment. When computers and mobile devices are stored in basements or other locations, disposed of in landfills, or burned in incinerators, they can release toxic materials and potentially dangerous levels of lead, mercury, and flame retardants. Green computing involves reducing the electricity consumed and environmental waste generated when using a computer. Strategies that support green computing include recycling, using energy-efÏcient hardware and energysaving features, regulating manufacturing processes, extending the life of computers, and immediately donating or properly disposing of replaced computers. When you purchase a new computer, some retailers offer to dispose of your old computer properly. 1 1-22 - 1-24 Digital Security and Privacy Critical Thinking 21. Explain in detail what it means to synchronize computers and mobile devices. Include at least two strategies for keeping your files in sync in your answer. ANSWER: Student responses will vary, but should be drawn from the following information from the text. If you use multiple computers and mobile devices throughout the day, keeping track of common files may be difficult. For example, each morning, you may begin the day by checking your appointment calendar on your computer. That same calendar appears on your smartphone, so that you can view your schedule throughout the day. You may, however, add, change, or delete appointments using the smartphone, so when you return home you will need to update the calendar on your computer to Page6 Name  : Clas  s: Dat  e: Module 01 - Introducing Today's Technologies reflect these edits. When you synchronize, or sync, computers and mobile devices, you match the files in two or more locations with each other. Along with appointments, other commonly synced files from a smartphone are photos, email messages, music, apps, contacts, calendars, and ringtones. Syncing can be a one-way or a two-way process. With a one-way sync, also called mirroring, you add, change, or delete files in a destination location, called the target, without altering the same files in the original location, called the source. For example, you may have a large collection of music stored on your computer at home (the source), and you often copy some of these songs to your mobile device (the target). If you add or delete songs from your computer, you also will want to add or change these songs on your mobile device. If, however, you add or change the songs on your mobile device, you would not want to make these changes on your computer. In two-way sync, any change made in one location also is made in any other sync location. For example, you and your friends may be working together to create one document reflecting your combined ideas. This document could be stored on a network or on cloud storage on the Internet. Your collaboration efforts should reflect the latest edits each person has made to the file. You can use wired or wireless methods to sync. In a wired setup, cables connect one device to another, which allows for reliable data transfer. While wireless syncing offers convenience and automation, possible issues include battery drain and low signal strength when the devices are not close to each other. Strategies for keeping your files in sync include the following: • Use a cable and software. Syncing photos from a camera or a smartphone to a computer frees up memory on the mobile device and creates a backup of these files. You easily can transfer photos using a data sync cable and synchronization software. Be certain not to disconnect the mobile device from the computer until the sync is complete. You also can copy your photos and documents from the computer to a smartphone, an external hard disk, a USB flash drive, or some other portable storage device. • Use cloud storage. Cloud storage can provide a convenient method of syncing files stored on multiple computers and accessing them from most devices with Internet access. Several cloud storage providers offer a small amount of storage space at no cost and additional storage for a nominal fee per month or per year. Each provider has specific features, but most allow users to share files with other users, preview file contents, set passwords, and control who has permission to edit the files. POINTS: REFERENCES: TOPICS: • Use web apps. By using web apps for email, contacts, and calendars, your information is stored online, so that it is accessible anywhere you have an Internet connection, and can sync with multiple devices. 1 1-30 - 1-31 Staying in Sync Critical Thinking True / False 22.
