A)Purchase and use products with an ENERGY STAR label.
B)Keep devices turned on and ready to use, even at night.
C)Request printed receipts.
D)Purchase new models of devices as soon as they are released.

Accepted Answer

Purchasing and using products with an ENERGY STAR label is an example of green computing as these products are designed to be energy-efficient and reduce their impact on the environment. Keeping devices turned on and ready to use, requesting printed receipts, and purchasing new models of devices as soon as they are released are not examples of green computing practices.

Question 3

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)requires that public schools purchase or acquire funding for adaptive technologies.

Accepted Answer

The ADA requires that public schools provide equal access to education for students with disabilities, which may involve the purchase or acquisition of adaptive technologies.

A)Health records are stored in the cloud.
B)The need for visits to the doctor's office is increased.
C)Physicians can monitor patients using digital devices through the use of a smartphone.
D)Patients can receive text reminders to take medications.

Accepted Answer

Mobile health aims to provide healthcare services remotely, reducing the need for in-person visits to the doctor's office or hospital. Therefore, it is not true that the need for visits to the doctor's office is increased through mobile health.

Question 5

Andy has diabetes and he is not good about taking his medications or even checking his insulin levels. His doctor has recently started using mobile health (mHealth). How will Andy's doctor's use of mHealth help Andy get his diabetes under control?
A)His health records will now be stored in the cloud.
B)He will not have to visit the doctor as frequently.
C)His doctor will be able to monitor him through the use of a smartphone.
D)He will receive text reminders to take his medications and check his insulin.

Accepted Answer

The use of mHealth can include text reminders to take medications and check insulin, which can help patients like Andy who struggle with adhering to their prescribed treatment plan. This can lead to better management of the illness and improved health outcomes. While A and B may be benefits of mHealth, they do not directly help with Andy's adherence to his treatment plan. C may be a way for the doctor to monitor him, but it is not as effective as direct communication through text reminders.

Question 6

A)Become more active on social media.
B)Use sleep modes and other power management features for computers and devices.
C)Print copies of email messages.
D)Discard old laptops and cell phones.

Accepted Answer

Using sleep modes and power management features for computers and devices can significantly reduce electronic waste by prolonging the lifespan of these devices and reducing energy usage. The other choices, such as becoming more active on social media or printing emails, do not directly address reducing electronic waste. Discarding old laptops and cell phones can actually contribute to electronic waste unless they are properly disposed of or recycled.

Question 7

A)They could create a hashtag and post on social media.
B)They could put flyers in everyone's mailbox.
C)They could call all their neighbors.
D)They could contact the newspaper to run an article.

Accepted Answer

Creating a hashtag and using social media would allow the fifth grade class to reach a wider audience beyond just their neighbors. Posting about their project on social media could also encourage others to share the information with their own circles of friends and followers, potentially leading to a greater impact on the community.

Question 11

Which of the following is a technology designed for use in manufacturing?
A)electronic monitoring bracelets
B)machine-to-machine (M2M)communications
C)bring your own device (BYOD)
D)web analytics

Accepted Answer

Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications are designed for use in manufacturing. This technology allows machines to communicate with each other to improve efficiency and reduce the need for human intervention. Electronic monitoring bracelets are typically used in law enforcement or healthcare settings, BYOD is a policy allowing employees to use their own devices at work, and web analytics are used for website and marketing analysis.

Question 12

You can avoid electronic waste by replacing devices every time a new version comes out.

Accepted Answer

Electronic waste can be avoided by not replacing devices every time a new version comes out. Instead, devices can be repaired, refurbished, or donated to others who may still find them useful.

Question 14

Which technology device could be used to view a patient's internal organs?
A)Electronic bracelet
B)Ingestible camera
C)3-D printer
D)Mobile health record

Accepted Answer

An ingestible camera can be used to view a patient's internal organs. The camera is swallowed like a pill and captures images as it travels through the digestive system, allowing doctors to view the inside of the body. Electronic bracelets are typically used for tracking movement and monitoring vital signs, not for internal viewing. 3-D printers are used to create physical objects, but not for internal viewing. Mobile health records are electronic records of a patient's medical information and do not provide internal viewing of organs.

Question 15

Question 16

Taran wants to work in the technology field but is unsure of which career to pursue. He has been told he has strong people skills; he is good at figuring out what is wrong with computers and fixing them; and he is patient and helpful when others do not know how to use computers. As his college advisor, which technology careers would you suggest he explore?
A)System development
B)Help desk support
C)Data scientist
D)System security

Accepted Answer

Taran's strong people skills and patience make him well-suited for a career in help desk support, where he would assist others in troubleshooting and using technology. While he may also have potential in other areas such as system development or system security, his people skills and desire to help others make help desk support the most fitting option. Data science may not be the best fit based on the given information about Taran's skills and interests.

Question 17

B)It uses technology to enable workers to connect and communicate.
C)It has a bring your own device (BYOD)policy allowing online collaboration.
D)It holds meetings only via web conferencing and markets itself over social media.

Accepted Answer

An intelligent workplace is one that uses technology to improve communication and productivity among its workers. Option B describes this by stating that technology is used to enable workers to connect and communicate. While options A, C, and D all involve technology, they do not necessarily describe an intelligent workplace as a whole.

Question 18

At the beginning of the school year, each classroom was given one box of copy paper to make all their copies for the year. How do you think the teachers will be able to make that one box last all year long?

C)Ask each parent to donate a box of paper so more copies can be made.
D)Place as many documents as possible online, reducing the need for paper printouts.

Accepted Answer

By placing documents online, teachers can reduce the need for paper printouts and make the one box of copy paper last longer throughout the school year. Option A may not be feasible for all households, option B may cause unnecessary confusion and tension among students, and option C relies on external donations that may not be reliable.

B)The computer that is finding the fastest route for the driver.
C)The GPS that is avoiding traffic and hazardous conditions.
D)The phone that her brother will use when he receives the package.

Accepted Answer

The code on the package is scanned at each leg of the journey, allowing for tracking information to be updated and accessible to the sender and recipient. GPS and computer routing may be used to optimize delivery, but they do not provide tracking information to the sender. The recipient’s phone is not relevant to tracking the package.
