Question 7

A possible future application of nanotechnology includes disposing of e-waste by rearranging dangerous components at the atomic level into inert substances. _________________________

Accepted Answer

Nanotechnology has the potential to revolutionize waste management and help in the disposal of electronic waste by breaking down waste materials into their constituent atoms and molecules and rearranging them into harmless substances. This process of converting e-waste into inert materials is known as molecular recycling and is considered a promising way to reduce electronic waste and its harmful impact on the environment.

Question 8

Intelligent Agents called voicebots carry on written "conversations" with people in a natural language. _________________________

Accepted Answer

Voicebots are designed to carry on spoken conversations, not written ones. Text-based agents that handle written conversations are typically referred to as chatbots.

Question 9

One of the key enhancements in the newest Bluetooth specification known as  _____________ is low energy, which enables small devices to run for years on a single button-sized battery.

Accepted Answer

The answer of One of the key enhancements in the...

Question 10

A ____________is a pocket-sized device that typically connects to a smartphone or portable computer to enable the device to display an image on a wall.

Accepted Answer

A pico projector is a small device that is easy to carry around and can connect to other devices such as smartphones or laptops to display images on a wall. It is also known as a pocket projector.

Question 11

Brain-to-brain interfacing is the process of connecting the brain with a computer, such as implanting electrodes directly into the brain or using a headset that wirelessly reads and interprets brainwaves. _________________________

Accepted Answer

Brain-to-brain interfacing involves direct communication between two brains, not just connecting a brain to a computer.

Question 12

The most common Ethernet standards for LANs today are Fast Ethernet, which supports data transfer rates of up to 100 Mbps, and Flash Ethernet, which is even faster at 1,000 Mbps. _________________________

Accepted Answer

The most common Ethernet standards for LANs today are Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet (1,000 Mbps), not Flash Ethernet.

Question 13

Organic light emitting diode displays use layers of organic material which, when electric current is applied, emits a visible light. _________________________

Accepted Answer

This statement is true. OLEDs use organic layers that emit light when an electric current is applied.

Question 14

During a(n)Loebner test, in which an observer interacts electronically with both a computer and a person, the observer submits written questions electronically to both the computer and the person, evaluates the typed responses, and tries to identify which answers came from the computer and which came from the person. According to the test's inventor, if the computer can repeatedly fool the observer into thinking it was human, then it should be viewed as intelligent. _________________________

Accepted Answer

The answer of During a(n)Loebner test, in which an observer...

Question 15

____ chips have a special coating that changes its physical state when heat is applied.

Accepted Answer

PRAM stands for Phase-change RAM, which has a special coating that changes its physical state when heat is applied. This technology is used in non-volatile memory devices like USB drives, where the data stored on them can be retained even when the power is switched off. Neither RAM, PAM, nor RPAM have this special coating that changes with heat, so they are not the best choices.

Question 16

____ mobile payments use RFID to facilitate communication between devices, including transferring payment information, receipts, boarding passes, and other information wirelessly between payment terminals and mobile phones.

Accepted Answer

Near Field Communication (NFC) uses RFID technology to enable wireless communication between devices, allowing for the transfer of various information, including payment information, receipts, boarding passes, and more. Wireless Batch Communication (WBC) and RF Product Communication (RFPC) are not commonly used terms in the context of mobile payments, and Electronic Product Coding (EPC) refers to a product identification system rather than a communication technology.

Question 17

There are a number of different versions of the 802.11 standard; the 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac standards are the most widely used today. _________________________

Accepted Answer

This statement is true. The 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac standards are widely used today, along with other versions of the 802.11 standard such as 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11ax.

Question 18
