11. Technical Terminology




  1. Take the first 5 letters* in your pvlearners user name and look up tech terms from the links below that start with your names letters.  Pick terms you can relate to.  Define each term then write a sentence or two in your own words on each about how this technology is used or why your choice might interest you.  Absolutely no credit will be given for repeat terms!


* See my example in the first comment below. If you have less than 5 letters pick a random letter to finish the assignment.  Read all the other comments so you don't repeat a term.

  1. D - Data Transfer Rate. This is how fast data is transferred from one location to another. There is something interesting about this. Data transferred is measured in bits per second instead of bytes per second. The information is really moving in bytes. However ISP providers like Cox or Verizon charge people by bits which make it sound 8 times faster than it really is after you make the conversion.

    K - Koffice. This is an office productivitity suite used by UNIX systems. No one uses it but it has some cool application names like Kex for its database. It was developed by the KDE group who are also responsible for many other unix applications.

    O - OOP stands for Object Oriented Programming. This refers to a programming method based on objects, instead of just functions and procedures. The idea is to condense and group programming objects together to be more efficient in writing functions. Java, C++ and many game coders use Object Oriented Programming.

    OK .. you guys get the idea... I don't want to use all the good letters. This was an example of me using the first few letters of my user name: dkovesdy . You need to use 5

  2. B - Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a digital currency that was introduced in 2009. I always though that bitcoin was cool, but the prices go up and down constantly, but have seen a significant spike in the past year. Right now, 1 bitcoin is equal to about $350

    H - Hacker. Smart programmer that can access normally restricted material on another computer. This popped out to me because I play alot of first-person shooter games, and if you are even slightly good at the game you run risk at being called a hacker. One of my friends on steam was phished, so now all of the items he owned in the game were traded to some guy, because he clicked a link that was bad.

    U - Upload. Sending a file to another system or computer. I do a lot of uploading on the internet, may it be putting up a stupid video on Youtube, or posting a skin to Planet Minecraft.

    N - Newbie. Someone who is a new user to a certain program, software, or the internet. I run into a lot of hardcore n00bs on the video games, and I pwn them so hard.
    I use this word a lot as an insult even though I shouldn't. Newbie is meaning a new person who doesn't understand. A noob is someone who has played a lot but is still bad.

    T - Trojan Horse. These things suck. Got one on an old computer before I knew what a virus was. These are one of the main viruses that infect computers, and they are deadly. Better keep using your antivirus, because these things can get in on almost anything.
    Who would think picture.jpg.exe was harmful?

  3. T- Tesla, its the standard in the unit of magnetic flux density. Tesla is equivalent to one Weber per meter squared. It can reduce to the base units in the International System of Units (SI) which is multiply by the number of ten. Next the Tesla is a large unit and is used primarily in industrial electromagnetic.

    H- Henry is the standard International Unit of inductance. One Henry is equivalent of one kilogram meter squared per second. Auto-frequency (AF) and the radio-frequency (RF) applications called units of millihenrys (mH).

    A- Area is a two-dimensional quantity representing the amount or extant of the surface. The area is usually measured or defined on a flat surface, also called a Euclidean plane, or a spherical surface.

    N- Newton Second is the standard unit of impulse. The Newton Second is equivalent of a kilogram meter per second.

  4. C - Critical hit. A random chance for an attack's damage to be multiplied, usually by 2 or 3. There is a lot of talk about critical hits in MMORPGs like World of Warcraft, and DotA-style games like League of Legends.

    C - Crash. A critical error of some kind overloads some aspect of your computer to the point of making certain or all functions currently in progress stop working completely. This is normally due to faulty code in a program.

    H - Heartbleed. A dangerous virus that attacks OpenSSL, an open source encryption software used in a lot of servers. The virus enters through a process called a "heartbeat", normally called a "handshake"; during this time, hackers can steal a user's username, password, and other confidential information.

    I - IPv4. A series of numbers that give the user a certain "address" to access the internet, such as 192.168.55.1. Sometimes, this address can have a 5-digit extension, such as :25565, a common extension.

    V - Video Card. A special attachment for a computer that allows the CPU to not have to work to render the world space and graphics of a video game. Video cards (also called graphics cards) also have VRAM, a special kind of Random Access Memory specially allocated to the card itself.

    1. J - Java, a general-purpose computer programming language designed to produce programs that will run on any computer system it was first introduced in 1995. Java runs some games such as runescape, which i would not suggest playing anymore because it isnt what it used to be. The combat system was destroyed.

      R - RAM, random-access memory. my computer at home could use more of this, but not too much. Having too much ram would actually slow down your computer.

      I - IP Address, this is a code made up of numbers separated by three dots that identifies a particular computer on the Internet. Some hackers nowadays use your IP address to take control of your internet and they can boot you offline. Just like me when i got booted offline and then de-ranked.

  26. C - A command line interface is an interface that allows the input of commands to control the computer. In many operating systems a main interface can be used to accomplish complex tasks, and is often called the terminal, or console. Many Linux based systems are built upon a complex interface that can be accessed at any time.

    F - FAT32 stands for "File Allocation Table". It is a system of storage used to allocate space to certain files, while maintaining the ability to quickly access them. Occasionally, drives can become fragmented, splitting the allocated space across the drive, slowing down the access and loading speeds of the files. When this happens, it needs to be defragmented.

    R - Repositories are the central file storage location for a piece of software, containing all the key elements needed to run. Organizes source code, program resources, and many other needed files.

    Y - Yobibytes are the largest unit of data, equaling 2^80 bytes of data. An approximation of space would be 10^24 bytes of data, or 1,024 Zebibytes.

    B - Batch files are filled with lines of code, most often to automate manual processes. An example of a use for batch files is to change the limit of RAM a program executable will start with.

    1. C - Every time I use computers, command lines provide an easier way to accomplish normal tasks. On my Ubuntu laptop, the terminal is in constant use, updating or modifying programs, running lines of code, editing files in root, and maintaining everything on my computer.

      F - Most USB drives can be reformatted into FAT32 to keep them running faster and clean of fragmented files. I use USB drives a lot to transfer large files between my devices, so its important to keep them running the fastest they can.

      R - Whenever I dabble in programming, I organize everything is sections so I can still understand what I was thinking when I decided it was a good idea to create parts of the program. Repositories are incredible useful when set up properly.

      Y - No matter how much total storage I have on my hard drive, I still find myself juggling files to save room. With much larger forms of storage, yobibytes will eventually be only a little larger than the manufactures storage devices. Not long ago the larger digital storage devices only contained a few megabytes. Now, we have terabytes of data storage, a tremendous leap in progress.

      B - Whenever I'm running programs or wanting to not click everything myself, batch files become incredibly useful. From changing ram dedication for launched programs, to setting up a file that opens all my normal programs at start-up, the possibilities for them are endless.

In includes the websites you visit, emails you send, and information you submit to online services. This term is extremely important as it is something that relates to anyone who has ever used any form of device connected to the internet. Through your digital footprint sites are able to analyze your history and data in order to display advertisements pertaining to your tastes. Through your digital footprint you become a member of the internet and will in a sense remain there for the rest of time.

    I- Intellectual property: Intellectual property refers to the ownership of intangible and non-physical goods. This includes ideas, names, designs, symbols, artwork, writings, and other creations. It also refers to digital media, such as audio and video clips that can be downloaded online. With the rise of the internet, the idea of intellectual property has come to the front line. Now with practically anything easily available to you, there has been widespread debates, arguments , and even lawsuits regarding intellectual property and copyright laws.

    G- GIF: A GIF is a compressed image file format. These compressed image files can be quickly transmitted over a network or the Internet, which is why you often see them on Web pages. In recent years, the use of GIFs has become extremely popular. Often used to show inaudible clips of video for entertainment purposes, GIFs have become one of the primary ways to share data online due to their compressed and easy to view format.

    G- Google Drive: Google Drive is a service offered by Google that allows you to store and share files online. Since its launch in 2012, Drive has quickly risen to the top of ways to create and share documents online.

Supercomputers have various applications, such as performing complex scientific calculations, modeling simulations, and rendering large amounts of 3D graphics. I want one for gaming because I've got a super toaster.

    Y.)One yottabyte (abbreviated "YB") is equal to 1,000 zettabytes and is the largest SI unit of measurement used for measuring data. It is slightly smaller than its IEC-standardized counterpart, the yobibyte, which contains 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 bytes (280) bytes. Having a hard drive this big would be really good cold download so many games.

    U.)Uploading is sending a file from your computer to another system. Pretty straight forward. It is possible to upload and download at the same time, but it may cause slower transfer speeds, especially if you have a low bandwidth connection.
