Discussion questions pg.93

1.
1- portable devices

• Pros: You can take personal info with you anywhere to print, access, share and upload to the net,etc. from other computers.
• Cons: These portable devices are easily lost and stolen, thus your work can be used by others under their names. Because while using portable devises we often uses public computers or computers that often dont belong to us, others can easily spy on you work or info without permission.

2- Personal Laptop:

• Pros: It can be taken with you anywhere. You can add, delete edit, etc, at your own free will. because a laptop is large, you tend not to forget or lose something as expensive or valuable compared to a mere usb drive.
• Cons: It can break, its too bulky to carry around everywhere. some people might try to steal it. If it breaks there is no way to return back your lost memory.

2. I think personal info would be more secure on a flash memory, rather than on the net. Today their are all sorts of ways to hack on the internet and ways to overcome even secured websites. While having flash memory info althoough there is a high risk of loss, it reall y is no different from our credit cars, or kaiser cards, our social security cars, and etc. These cards are really just another type of flash memory.

Biometrics questions

1-he study of measurable biological characteristics. Biometrics is used in computer security to identify individuals by measurable physical characteristics. Biometric identification schemes may use facial characteristics, fingerprints, hand geometry, retina analysis, iris analysis, signatures, vein patterns, and voice analysis. Biometrics will likely become more important in the future to prevent identity theft.

2-Areas of iMPACT

1. Business: For large corparations, biometrics can keep their data safe, and can help identify suspects if their is ever a theft in the company.
2. Education: Biometrics serves as a great tool in teaching new generations about the feild of detective investigations.
3. Health: Many Health institutions store rare chemicals or treatments, and retina scanners can be needed
4. Science and environment: Your natural data can differentiate you from one individual to another
   
5. Government: governemnts can track you down bassed on your biometrics data

3- Retina scanner: This scans the retina in ones eye and checks it with the programmed retina to allow access to lab, a university, etc.

4-approves: large buisnesses, govenrment, banks,
Disapproves: citizens who dont want to be tracked at all times, and others who dont know much about biometrics.
5-privacy:people dont want to be tracked at all times, security: people can access others personal info, with tecnology progressing in the near future their could be people who will be able to find a way to go around biometrics.
6-

1. its easy for governemnt to track dangerous criminals
2. it allows for a safer environment, at banks, labs, and the world
3. it allows for a faster way to find personal info.

5-CRT:They are inexpensive and they prodce high quality images at a variety of resolutions
6-Laptops, video Projectors

1- Input:keyboard-you type,mouse-you can click with,bar code readers-scans bar codes on products,printers-print saved documents

out-put: The monitor- projects what in the desktop, projector-enlarges and projects what is a computer,scanner-scans,speaker-projects sound

• A bar code scanner scan the items and allows it to be viewd on the clerks screen, then its then allowed to be printed as a receipt, which helps both the clerk and the buyer to have a secure reliable transaction.
• A credit card machine, which allows transaction to occur directly without the use of cash, which makes safe and secure transaction possible.
• 1- a touch pad: This is an excellent alternative because it allows the user to intract with the computer directly, and it senses the heat source from the users hands. 2-This responds to the persons heat source on the monitor. This allows more interactivity than the touch pad, because you actually touch what you want making it easier and more pleasant for the user. 3- Track balls are more for think pads, bot they allow more room for hands are for the user

Criterion G

For my project, i want to help Al-Arqam school students to appreciate art, in a new way. Instead of looking at Art as a class to draw or pain, they can look at it as a competitive course in which they strive to have their artwork presented to the whole school.
I find the subject of Art extremely appealing, and i see that it is slowly disappearing because of the lack of enthusiasm and competitiveness. I have decided to create a magazine, or brochure in which the top ten art work are shown, with a summary of what that art work means and what type of mood it creates when others view it. This will definetley have many students enthusiastic about creating something magnificent enough to be printed, and distributed.
For many students Art isn't hard, but its boring, and there is no fun to it. With this project, students will change the view of many who have given up on competing in class, or draw and paint to pass, not for pleasure. When they see how fantastic art is they will change and will thus create an easier setting for many art teachers to come to work with.

1-No, becaus that makes the author sound more credible if he can use that phrase to his own advantgage. Other than proves his credibility, he actually he actually interests more people with the other authors work.
2-there are softwares out their today that actually help teachers tell if work is plagerized.

review question 3-10

1. Binary numbers ude decimals, while ASCII, will read without decimals and only 256.
2. It is clear, constant, and has basic rules, plus people at the time didn't have the technology to make software that convert.
3. Because not all softwares are compatible with each other, each software is designed to run on a certain machine.
4. multy processors
   
5. beacuse without them the computer is like a brain without a body.
6. yhj
7. RAM-randome access memory.(not permanent memory) primary storage for computer memory ROM- permamnent memory, information is read only, can not write info on it.
8. primary memory canr be eraced while secondary storage cane be eraced and re ritten on.
   

The cpu is the centeral part f the computer
ram: random acccess memory.
Mother board is heart of mother board
Video card: is like the graphics card for the computer
Hard disc holds memory even when turned off
You must destroy hard drive to get rid of all memory
