module 1 Flashcards
COMPONENTS OF ICT
Remote delivery of computing services (servers, storage, databases, applications) over the internet, accessible on demand.
computing services
COMPONENTS OF ICT
Connection to the global network of computers and information resources
internet access
COMPONENTS OF ICT
widely used wireless networking technology that enables devices to connect to the internet and each other without physical cables. It operates in a specific radio frequency spectrum, typically 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, and transmits data using radio waves
WiFi (wireless fidelity)
COMPONENTS OF ICT
cellular network technology that provides high-speed wireless internet access for mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. It was designed as an upgrade to earlier 3G networks, offering significantly faster data speeds, lower latency, and improved network capacity
LTE (long term evolution)
COMPONENTS OF ICT
the latest generation of cellular network technology, promising
even faster speeds, lower latency, and significantly improved network capacity compared to its predecessors. It aims to revolutionize various aspects of our lives beyond just mobile internet access, enabling new applications and services.
5G technology
COMPONENTS OF ICT
Defined as a collection of individual raw facts or statistics. It can come in the form of text, observations, figures, images, numbers, graphs, or symbols
data
COMPONENTS OF ICT
massive volume of structured and unstructured data that organizations and systems generate daily. This data comes from a wide range of sources, including sensors, social media, web interactions, transaction records, and more
big data
COMPONENTS OF ICT
Refers to all equipment and programs that are used to process and communicate information. Tools and methods used to transmit and receive information electronically
communication technologies
COMPONENTS OF ICT
refers to the direct exchange of data and instructions between the various sensors and devices embedded within them, without human intervention
machine to machine communication
COMPONENTS OF ICT
focuses on how humans interact with
their wearable
human to machine communication
COMPONENTS OF ICT
M2M provides the underlying data exchange and intelligence, while HMI allows humans to access and control this technology
seamlessly. As both technologies continue to evolve, we can expect even more sophisticated and intuitive ways for wearables to communicate, both with each other and with us
wearable technology
COMPONENTS OF ICT
Exchange of information or goods electronically, often involving payment or data transfer.
transactions
COMPONENTS OF ICT
Purchasing goods and services through e-commerce websites and platforms.
online shopping
COMPONENTS OF ICT
Making payments, transferring funds, and managing
bank accounts through mobile apps.
mobile banking
COMPONENTS OF ICT
Physical components of an ICT system, including computers, network devices, and peripherals
hardware
COMPONENTS OF ICT
Set of instructions that tell hardware how to perform specific tasks
software
COMPONENTS OF ICT
Manages the computer’s hardware and provides a
platform for running other programs (windows, iOS)
operating system
