Answer within document below each question
1. Alice & Jonathan are taking classes but have decided
to move to the online format instead of face-to-face. Up to this
point they shared a desktop system at home for document prep &
used the school’s lab equipment for more advanced software
application requirements. They checked e-mail and did additional
online activities at work. Now they wish to be able to do all these
activities at home. The existing desktop system they used to share
has an updated operating system and adequate memory. They have
purchased two laptops & want to create a wireless network for
their home. a.Design a wireless network for Alice and Jonathan
using their existing desktop & 2 laptops. b.Describe how they
could use the home network.c.What types of hardware, software,
connectivity components, etc., would be required to implement the
home network? d.Security issues will need to be considered. What
are the risks to their network? What will they need to fully
protect their home network? 2.What is social networking? Define at
least two of the privacy issues related to participating on social
networking sites? For each issue, describe a real example of how
this might happen. What kinds of measures can be taken to guard
privacy in the use of such sites? 3.RAM is a temporary storage
space that is used to store program instructions and data. But
accessing RAM is inefficient because a CPU runs faster than RAM.
What special storage space (other than RAM) might a computer access
that also temporarily stores program instructions and data?
Describe how this storage space works, where it is located in the
computer and how the speed compares with other types of storage
such as the RAM or hard drive. 4. People with severe disabilities
can be helped to lead independent self-supportive lives with the
use of assistive technologies. Because these special technologies
can help them communicate their intentions & effectively
control their environment, especially to operate a computer, they
may be able to find employment in spite of their physical, mental,
or social challenges. Your textbook in Chapter 5 looks at the
future of input and output devices. Pick one of the innovations
listed there or from “Many Students Wonder” & discuss how this
innovation might help someone with a physical, mental or social
disability. In your discussion, include a description of the person
and the disability (create a scenario), the technology to be
implemented, and the specific benefits the technology will provide.
5. Define the term computer-based information systems. In your
definition, discuss 3 types of information systems, the audience or
level of management served by each, and how the systems benefit the
organization. 6. List & describe at least four ways in which
processor speed can be increased. Short answer questions: 7. What
happens in an Excel spreadsheet if a cell contains numerical data
but the column is too narrow to display the value? How can you
correct this? 8. What is conditional formatting with Highlight
Cells Rules? Give one example of how this feature can be useful in
business. 9. What is the difference between a relative cell
reference and an absolute cell reference? When would you make a
reference absolute? Provide an example of when you would use an
absolute cell reference. 10. Think back to your Excel project–the
personal budget. What function would you use to find the largest
value stored in the monthly entries—January through December–(not
the budget, total or average columns) in your worksheet? How would
you enter this function (how would you select it and what might the
format look like)? 11. Think about the Excel project and Access
database project you completed in this class. Why is each Office
application appropriate for the tasks that were part of these
projects? Could you have used a spreadsheet to store the data you
entered into the database? Could you have used a database to
complete your personal budget? Explain response. 12. It’s 1 hr
before the due date/time & you have finished your Access
project but take a break, during the break someone accidentally
deletes your database file. What might you have done which would
enable you to recover the project without re-doing your work? 13.
You have added a special video from your files to your Power Point
presentation. You send the presentation to your instructor, but she
says the video doesn’t play when run. What might be the problem?
14. Describe how you would apply slide transitions to your PP
presentation. What should you consider when using transitions
timing options? 15. What’s the difference between a “table” in Word
