Question 1

People can enter other cave automatic virtual environments (CAVEs)in other locations,no matter how far away they are geographically.

Accepted Answer

With the use of virtual reality technology, people can enter CAVEs from anywhere in the world as long as they have the necessary equipment and access to the virtual environment.

Question 2

Augmented reality users are immersed in the virtual world while interacting with objects.

Accepted Answer

Augmented reality overlays digital information on the real world, rather than immersing users in a fully virtual environment.

Question 3

Pull technology is adequate for marketing certain products and services and for providing customized information.

Accepted Answer

False

Question 4

Alconac Systems,a software start-up company,uses a technology in which the employees have to key in certain names and their respective codes to access information from different departments.Given this information,it can be concluded that Alconac Systems uses _____ to access information from different departments.
A)pull technology
B)artificial intelligence
C)push technology
D)data mining

Accepted Answer

Alconac Systems requires employees to manually input certain names and codes to access information, indicating a pull technology is being used. Push technology would automatically send information without the user requesting it, artificial intelligence would involve more advanced algorithms and decision making processes, and data mining would involve analyzing existing data sets rather than requesting information from different departments.

Question 5

In virtual environment (VR)terminology,the everyday physical world is referred to as a "micro environment."

Accepted Answer

In virtual environment (VR) terminology, the everyday physical world is referred to as the "real world" or "physical world," not the "micro environment."

Question 6

Google AppEngine is an example of a private cloud service.

Accepted Answer

Google AppEngine is a public cloud service provided by Google, not a private cloud service.

Question 7

A radio frequency identification (RFID)tag provides a generic identification for a credit or debit card carrying the tag.

Accepted Answer

RFID tags are used for identification and tracking purposes, but they are not typically embedded in credit or debit cards. Instead, these cards often use magnetic stripe or chip technology to store and transmit information.

Question 8

Ziffcorp,an IT firm,uses a technology that automatically updates the antivirus software in all the computers in the firm whenever the software becomes outdated.It is evident that Ziffcorp uses _____ for automatically updating the antivirus software.
A)pull technology
B)artificial intelligence technology
C)push technology
D)data mining technology

Accepted Answer

Push technology refers to a method by which information is sent automatically to a user's device or computer without the need for the user to actively request for it. In this case, Ziffcorp's use of technology to automatically update the antivirus software can be classified as push technology since the update is pushed to the computers without any action required from the users.

Question 9

With _____ technology,a Web server delivers information to users,who have signed up for the service,instead of waiting for them to request the information be sent to them.
A)push
B)pull   
C)virtual reality
D)radio frequency identification

Accepted Answer

Push technology allows Web servers to send information to users who have subscribed to the service without waiting for them to request it, whereas pull technology requires the user to request information, and virtual reality and radio frequency identification are not related to Web server content delivery.

Question 10

With the _____ model,users do not need to be concerned with new software versions and compatibility problems because the application service providers (ASPs)offer the most recent version of the software.
A)software distribution
B)software as a service 
C)radio frequency identification
D)automatic virtual environment

Accepted Answer

The software as a service (SaaS) model provides access to software applications hosted by application service providers (ASPs). With this model, users do not have to worry about software updates or version compatibility since the ASPs manage the software updates and provide access to the latest version.

Question 11

Push technology can be effective for both business-to-consumer (B2C)and business-to-business (B2B)marketing.

Accepted Answer

Push technology can be used in both B2C and B2B marketing to deliver real-time information, news, promotions, and updates directly to customers or business partners. Examples of push technology include email newsletters, mobile app notifications, pop-up ads, and SMS messages.

Question 12

A quick response (QR)code offers a smaller storage capacity compared to standard universal product codes (UPC)barcodes.

Accepted Answer

QR codes have a larger storage capacity than UPC barcodes, as they can store more data types, including alphanumeric characters and binary data, while UPC barcodes are limited to numeric data.

Question 13

In grid computing,each participant is referred to as a branch.

Accepted Answer

In grid computing, each participant is referred to as a node or a resource.

Question 14

Which is true of push technology?
A)It cannot provide customized information automatically.
B)It cannot update Web content in real time.
C)It streamlines the process of users getting software updates.
D)It requires users to state their needs before providing information.

Accepted Answer

Push technology can streamline the process of users getting software updates, as it allows updates to be automatically pushed to users in real-time without requiring them to manually check for updates. A is incorrect because push technology can provide customized information automatically. B is incorrect, as push technology can update Web content in real-time. D is incorrect, as push technology does not require users to state their needs before providing information.

Question 15

Compared with Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX),Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi)theoretically has faster data transfer rates and a longer range.

Accepted Answer

This statement is false. WiMAX theoretically has faster data transfer rates and a longer range compared to Wi-Fi. WiMAX can offer speeds up to 70 Mbps and has a range of up to 50 km, while Wi-Fi typically has a range of up to 100 meters and speeds up to 1 Gbps.

Question 16

Active radio frequency identification (RFID)tags have internal power supply.

Accepted Answer

Active RFID tags have an internal power supply, usually a battery, that allows them to transmit and receive signals independently.

Question 17

In an exocentric environment of virtual reality (VR),users can interact with objects.

Accepted Answer

The answer of In an exocentric environment of virtual reality...

Question 18

Bluetooth has line-of-sight limitations.

Accepted Answer

Bluetooth does not require a direct line of sight to connect devices, as it uses radio waves that can pass through walls and other obstacles.

Question 19

Nanomaterials have been applied as coatings on eyewear for increased comfort.

Accepted Answer

Nanomaterials have been used as coatings on eyewear to increase comfort by making the surface more scratch-resistant, water-repellent, and anti-reflective.
