Computer Terminologies

  • Applet
    A small Java application that is downloaded by an ActiveX or Java-enabled web browser. Once it has been downloaded, the applet will run on the user’s computer. Common applets include financial calculators and web drawing programs.
  • Application
    Computer software that performs a task or set of tasks, such as word processing or drawing. Applications are also referred to as programs.
  • ASCII
    American Standard Code for Information Interchange, an encoding system for converting keyboard characters and instructions into the binary number code that the computer understands.

Software licensed as open source can be freely changed or adapted to new uses, meaning that the source code of the operating system is freely available to the public. Programmers may redistribute and modify the code, as long as they don’t collect royalties on their work or deny access to their code. Since development is not restricted to a single corporation more programmers can debug and improve the source code faster.
  • Operating system
    A set of instructions that tell a computer on how to operate when it is turned on. It sets up a filing system to store files and tells the computer how to display information on a video display.

    using a magnetic charge that attracts dry toner that is transferred to
    paper and sealed with heat.

    tells the computer what to do and how to do it. Programs are also called
    .software. or .applications.
  • Programming language
    A series of instructions written by a programmer according to a given
    set of rules or conventions (.syntax.). High-level programming languages
    are independent of the device on which the application (or program)
    will eventually run; low-level languages are specific to each program or
    platform. Programming language instructions are converted into programs
    in language specific to a particular machine or operating system
    (.machine language.) so that the computer can interpret and carry out
    the instructions. Some common programming languages are BASIC, C, C++,

    crash).
    Disk mirroring: simultaneously storing a copy of information on another
    disc so that the information can be recovered if the main disc crashes.
  • RAM
    Random Access Memory. One of two basic types of memory. Portions of
    programs are stored in RAM when the program is launched so that the

    simulated three-dimensional environment. For example, you could design a
    room in a house on your computer and actually feel that you are walking
    around in it even though it was never built. (The Holodeck in the
    science-fiction TV series Star Trek: Voyager would be the ultimate
    virtual reality.) Current technology requires the user to wear a special
    helmet, viewing goggles, gloves, and other equipment that transmits and
    receives information from the computer.
  • Virus
    An unauthorized piece of computer code attached to a computer program or
    portions of a computer system that secretly copies itself from one
    computer to another by shared discs and over telephone and cable lines.
    It can destroy information stored on the computer, and in extreme cases,
    can destroy operability. Computers can be protected from viruses if the
    operator utilizes good virus prevention software and keeps the virus
    definitions up to date. Most viruses are not programmed to spread
    themselves. They have to be sent to another computer by e-mail, sharing,
    or applications. The worm is an exception, because it is programmed to
    replicate itself by sending copies to other computers listed in the
    e-mail address book in the computer. There are many kinds of viruses,
    for example:
    Boot viruses place some of their code in the start-up disk sector to
    automatically execute when booting. Therefore, when an infected machine
    boots, the virus loads and runs.
    File viruses attached to program files (files with the extension
    ..exe.). When you run the infected program, the virus code executes.
    Macro viruses copy their macros to templates and/or other application document files.
    Trojan Horse is a malicious, security-breaking program that is disguised as something benign such as a screen saver or game.
    Worm launches an application that destroys information on your hard
    drive. It also sends a copy of the virus to everyone in the computer’s
    e-mail address book.

    popular operating system.
  • World Wide Web (“WWW” or “the Web”)
    A network of servers on the Internet that use hypertext-linked databases
    and files. It was developed in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee, a British
    computer scientist, and is now the primary platform of the Internet. The
    feature that distinguishes the Web from other Internet applications is
    its ability to display graphics in addition to text.
  • Word processor
    A computer system or program for setting, editing, revising, correcting, storing, and printing text.
  • Worm
    See virus.
  • WYSIWYG

    layout programs (See desktop publishing), and web page design programs,
    words and images will be displayed on the monitor as they will look on
    the printed page or web page.
