Computers - General Knowledge Questions
A)
Sound waves
B)
Ultrasonic waves
C)
Knowledge Processors
D)
Data Processors

Correct Answer :   Knowledge Processors

Fifth generation computing devices, based on artificial intelligence, make use of parallel processing and superconductors. Built around the concepts of logic programming, they will be applicable to knowledge information processing systems. The goal of the fifth generation is to develop the device which could respond to natural language input and are capable of learning and self-organization.

A)
Television Network
B)
Telephone Network
C)
Telefax Network
D)
Teletype Network

Correct Answer :   Telephone Network

TELNET stands for TELephone NETwork. Telnet is a network protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to provide a bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication facility using a virtual terminal connection.

A)
Attaching
B)
Combining
C)
Compiling
D)
Concatenation

Correct Answer :   Concatenation

Concatenation is the process of appending one string to the end of another string. When we concatenate string literals or string constants by using the + operator, the compiler creates a single string. No run time concatenation occurs. However, string variables can be concatenated only at run time.

A)
Microsoft Publishers
B)
Microsoft PowerPoint
C)
Microsoft Word
D)
Microsoft Excel

Correct Answer :   Microsoft PowerPoint

Microsoft PowerPoint is a slide show presentation program developed by Microsoft. It was officially launched on May 22, 1990, as a part of the Microsoft Office suite.

A)
interface card
B)
special wires
C)
modem
D)
telephone lines

Correct Answer :   interface card

A Network Interface Card (NIC) is a device that allows computers to be joined together in a network, typically a Local Area Network (LAN). The network interface card acts as an interpreter, allowing the machine to both send and receive data on a LAN. Information Technology (IT) specialists often use these cards to setup wired or wireless networks.

A)
Parallel processing system
B)
IC-technology
C)
Transistor technology
D)
Semiconductor technology

Correct Answer :   Transistor technology

Transistor technology is the new buzzword in the computer world. Replacing silicon transistors with carbon nanotubes could make any electronic device — smartphones, laptops, tablets and supercomputers — smaller and more powerful using less energy than those built using silicon-based transistors. Scientists at Stanford University, in September 2013, announced to have built the first functioning computer that used only carbon nanotube transistors.

A)
Computer Aided Designing
B)
Business Computing
C)
Weather Forecasting
D)
Desktop Publishing

Correct Answer :   Weather Forecasting

A supercomputer is used for processing of information on quantum mechanics, large scale weather forecasting, molecular studies, polymer research, to solve mathematical problems, wind tunnel research, and chemical composition. Meteorologists use them to do research on the climate and global warming. It was first created in 1960.

A)
Object-oriented database
B)
Network database
C)
Relational database
D)
Hierarchical database

Correct Answer :   Hierarchical database

A hierarchical database model is a data model in which the data is organized into a tree-like structure. The structure allows representing information using parent/child relationships : each parent can have many children, but each child has only one parent.

A)
Auto Shapes
B)
PhotoShop
C)
Clip Art
D)
Word Art

Correct Answer :   Clip Art

Clip art, in the graphic arts, refers to pre-made images used to illustrate any medium. Today, clip art is used extensively in both personal and commercial projects, ranging from home-printed greeting cards to commercial candles. Clip art comes in many forms, both electronic and printed. However, most clip art today is created, distributed, and used in an electronic form.

A)
Valves
B)
Transistors
C)
Core memory
D)
Semiconductor memory

Correct Answer :   Valves

The Atanasoff–Berry Computer (ABC) was the world’s first electronic digital computer, albeit not programmable. Atanasoff is considered to be one of the fathers of the computer. In late 1939, John Atanasoff teamed up with Clifford Berry to build a prototype. They created the first computing machine to use electricity, vacuum tubes, binary numbers and capacitors. The capacitors were in a rotating drum that held the electrical charge for the memory. The final product was the size of a desk, weighed 700 pounds, had over 300 vacuum tubes, and contained a mile of wire.
