Question 1:
Compare and contrast the basic personal computer system, the typical smartphone system, and the mainframe computer system in terms of their architecture, capabilities, use cases, and impact on modern computing.
Start by providing an overview of each system, including their hardware components, operating systems, and typical specifications.
Explore the primary use cases for each system. How do these systems cater to different computing needs? Are there any overlapping functions or capabilities?
Analyze the architecture of these systems. What are the key design principles and characteristics that make each system unique? How do these architectures contribute to their performance and functionality?
Question 2:
Examine the fundamental interface components in an average computer system, and discuss their roles, significance, and interactions within the system.
Begin by identifying and describing the core interface components typically found in a computer. These may include the central processing unit (CPU), memory (RAM), storage devices (e.g., hard drives or SSDs), input/output devices (e.g., keyboard, mouse, monitor), and expansion slots or ports.
Discuss the specific functions and roles of each component. For example, what is the primary function of the CPU in processing data, and how does it interact with memory and storage devices?
Analyze the connections and data flow between these components. How do data and instructions travel between the CPU, memory, and storage? What is the role of input/output devices in facilitating user interaction with the computer?
Question 3:
Investigate the role of peripherals and the hierarchy of storage in an average computer system, and analyze how these elements contribute to overall system functionality and performance.
Begin by defining what peripherals are in the context of computer systems and providing examples of common input and output devices. Explain how peripherals enhance the user experience and extend the capabilities of a computer.
Explore the concept of the storage hierarchy in computing. Describe the various storage media and devices that make up this hierarchy, from the fastest and most volatile storage to the slowest but highest-capacity options.

Posted on May 8, 2024 | by Linus | Leave a Comment

file systems are essential elements of an operating system (OS). Without file systems, it would be impossible to load applications or even to store data files. Whether in the home or in the office, you must understand what it takes to manage storage devices. You should be familiar with what is necessary to prepare devices that enable users to store, manage, and retrieve files. As covered in this unit’s learning materials, there are numerous file systems for each OS. In other words, each operating system supports several compatible file systems.
Create a 1-page MS Word document that contains the following:
Cover page (does not count toward the 1-page requirement) Your full name
Course code, session, and section (e.g., ITCO-211-2203A-01)
Submission date
Assignment name (Unit 2 IP2)

You are working on network installation and upgrade, and you need to create a work breakdown structure (WBS) for the project. Create a WBS highlighting all the tasks involved with the project for the unboxing of the new computers to the end user training of the new software and removal of the old computers. Also create a network diagram showing all the activities. While creating the WBS, keep the following things in mind:
You’ll have to schedule a time that works for everyone.
Any user files must be transferred from the old computers to the new computers.
All users must have network access.
The WBS should not be limited to the elements outlined above. Keep in mind some of the activities that are pertinent to information system projects.
*Create the WBS using Microsoft Project and write a small report in Microsoft Word of approximately 3–4 pages that briefly summarizes the WBS structure you’ve followed. Submission Details:
Add Reference page to Word document
Follow APA standards to create the scope and cite any sources.

Purpose
The purpose of this web development assignment is to create, upload, and validate a website while learning basic skills in web development.
Website development, quality assurance, and sight designers are all positions available for those who desire to work for companies or for state/local government in web development. Web pages are viewed across several platforms including computers, smartphones, smart televisions, and other devices. Because of the various platforms that websites are viewed by it is essential that web design is considered with the end users in mind.
Every computer both Mac and the standard personal computer has a form of text editor which allows students to create Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). The Mac uses “TextEdit”
and a PC uses “Notepad”. HTML is the standard language used for web creation.

Posted on May 2, 2024 | by Linus | Leave a Comment

Purpose
For the major assessment, you will reflect on your development as a writer this semester by creating a video tour of your completed Argument Research Paper. This major assessment will allow you to reflect on your processes over the semester. It will show that you understand the formal rules and informal guidelines of some types of academic writing and research. It also allows you to demonstrate your understanding of the choices you made for the work on your research paper.
Assessment Topic
Create a 3 ½ to 5 minute video explaining the process you followed to develop your Argument Research Paper.
Instructions
Prepare
Review how to use Canvas Studio screen capture videoLinks to an external site..
Get your picture ID ready to verify your identity during the recording.
Reflect on your process for developing the Argument Research Paper. Consider what assignments and sources you would show as you explain your process.
Note: Your video should be 3 ½ to 5 minutes long. If your video is longer than 5 minutes, I will stop viewing your video at the five-minute mark, and any content that is presented later in the video will not be considered for the grading criteria. It is important that you organize your thoughts in advance so you can present your information effectively.
Record
Open the documents, pages, and sources you will need to show the viewer to explain your research process.
Start a Canvas Studio screen capture video.
Make sure your webcam video is showing in a corner of the screen and the lighting is good in the room so the information is readable.
Hold your ID up close to the camera. The name on the ID must match the name you used to enroll in the course.
Introduce yourself as you present your picture ID.
Present your finished Argument Research Paper to the viewer. Do not read the paper as part of your presentation. Instead, explain to the viewer how you completed the research paper.
Introduce your research topic and why you chose the topic. Present the argumentative thesis that you developed about the topic.
Highlight sections of the paper that you are particularly proud of and explain why you think they work well.
Highlight sections of the paper that you think need more work or attention and explain why they need improvement. (Note: ALL written work needs improvement. Don’t pretend that everything is perfect here in hopes of boosting your final paper grade!)
Show the viewer the specific sections of your sources that you used in the Argument Research Paper. Explain why you chose those sections and ignored other parts of the sources. (Have your sources open in separate tabs before you begin the video to streamline this process.)
Show the viewer work from your prewriting assignments that helped you to create the final paper. Explain how you used feedback from those assignments in the final paper. (Have your completed prewriting assignments open in separate tabs before you begin the video to streamline this process.)
Briefly evaluate and explain how you worked to develop counterargument and refutation to strengthen your argument. Show the counterargument and refutation in your research paper.
Conclude your recording with final thoughts about your successes and challenges with the research paper. Comment on why learning these skills has been important and how they will play a role in your future academic life and your future goals.
Submit your Canvas Studio video recording as a file uploadLinks to an external site..
Grading
The Major Assessment is worth 150 points. It counts as 20% of your final grade. You must receive a minimum of 60% on the Major Assessment to pass the course.
