What is meant by a netbook? What is the 'cloud' in cloud computing?

A netbook is a cheap *not really* (under $500), mini laptop however they can't handle extensive multi-tasking, they have minimal storage, cramped keyboards and small screens with bad resolutions. Cloud computing is used to allow services used in everyday practice to be moved onto the internet rather than stored on a local computer.

What applications does Google docs offer online? Why would you want documents stored in the 'cloud' online?

You can create documents, spreadsheets and presentations online. You can do all the basics like making bulleted lists, sorting by column, adding tables, images, comments, formulas, changing fonts, bold, underline, indent or changing background colour.
If you have your documets online you can invite people to view or edit it when they sign in so it's good for group work. You only need a computer with the internet and it has an auto-save feature. You can control who sees it.

What advantages do students and teachers find in Google docs?

It's easy to prepare assignments, meetings, chat online and organise schedules, even within groups. Even without thier USB or hard-drive they can still do the assignment or take notes for it. One teacher added the power points to it and in the chat part of it, the students chatted about the presentatin and asked questions about it.

Which netbook, if any, would suit your needs? Explain.

I would like die if i had the Acer Ferrari One. Mainly because it is beautiful.. And it also has a really good battery life which means that I can do an assignment for a long time without it dying on me or having an annoying bubble to tell me to connect it to the power point. It has a good memory so I can store plenty of school work on it. It is light for a computer so I can carry it around with me easily. And have i mentioned it's STUNNING.

define the term - protocol ;
the rules that determine the format and transmission of data between computers

what are the following protocols used for ?
TCP/Ip ; Transmition Control Protocal is the basic communication language or protocol of the internet to send packets of data safely
http; Hypertext Transfer Protocol is the protocol for transfer of web pages. it defines how the browser should respond to some commands
smtp; Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. the protocol used for sending e-mail messages.

what does GUI stand for? What was used before GUI?
Graphic User Interface. &&

there are two methods of data transmissions - serial and parallel. explain the difference between them.

in parallel transmission, multiple bits are sent simultaneously on different channels within the same cable, or radio path, and synchronized to a clock. Parallel devices have a wider data bus than serial devices and are able to transfer data in words of one or more bytes at a time.
in serial tranmissionn bits are sent sequentially on the same channel which reduces costs for wire but also slows the speed of transmission.

define the term URL. explain the components that make up the url.
Uniform Resource Locator
the first part of the address is called the protocol identifer and it indicates what protocol to use.
the second part is called a resource name and it specifies the IP address or the domain name where the resource is located.

in the context of data transmissions, what is error dection? name and exxplain one common method of error dection?
The detection of errors. It is a class of techniques for a computer to detect funny messages that have gone all funny and garbled. A common method is checksum. Each message is transmitted with a number in a formula and the recieveing place puts that same formula in to get that number. If it the same then there has been no funny mixed up messages being sent.

what is HTML and explain why it is important ?
Hyper Text Markup Language. It is important because it is the coding used to make web documents as it defins the structure and layout of the document as well as the content

how did the internet originate? gain a technological, and potentially a military advantage over the Soviets in the middle of the cold war.
who were the people most responsible for creating it? Tim Burten Lee, and the united states fovernment Advanced Research Projects Agency in 1958.
what system immediately preceded the internet?
what was it's purpose? Internet Protocol is a protocol used for communicating data across a packet-switched internetwork.
what is an IP packet? what is it comprised of? it's like a transporter, where information is disassembled into small blocks of data, sent independently to the destination address, then put back together at the receiving end. Each block of data is known as an IP packet. And it is comprised of an IP header followed by a variable-length data friend.
what does TCP stand for? How does TCP deal with the lost IP packets ?
Transmission Control Protocol, and they request retransmissions of lost packets, rearranges out-of-order packets, and even helps minimize network congestion to reduce the occurrence of the other problems.
