APPLICATION SOFTWARE
BINARY NUMERAL SYSTEM
COMPUTER
A subclass of computer software that employs the capabilities of a
computer directly to a task that the user wishes to perform. Typical
examples are word processors, spreadsheets, and media players.
A numeral system that represents numeric values using two symbols,
usually 0 and 1. This is used internally by virtually all modern computers.
A machine for manipulating data according to a list of instructions.
Computers take numerous physical forms. Early versions were the size of a
large room. Today, they can be made small enough to fit into a wrist
watch and be powered from a watch battery. The most common form in
use today is by far the embedded type. These are small, simple devices
that are often used to control other devices.
COMPUTER NETWORK
Composed of multiple computers connected together using a
telecommunication system for the purpose of sharing data, resources and
communication.
ELECTRONIC MAIL
A store and forward method of composing, sending, storing, and receiving
messages over electronic communication systems.
TELECOMMUNICATION
VOCABULARY.COM
