There is no any sure and certain way of information system which is perfect to each and every kind of organizations. Different nature of organizations has different ways of doing things and keeping the datas.As per the functions performed in organization information's are kept in different formats and order. So there are different conceptual classifications of information systems which vary as per the size, functions and structure of organization. These conceptual information systems help the management of the organization to decide about which system to follow in their organization, considering their functions, size and structure.
These concepts of information systems are scientific and systematic as well as effective to use, in order to manage the information's available in the organization for the future prospect. In real world organizations need to analyze and store data's and information in order to use them at the time of need so they typically integrate these concepts of information system in their business so as to have reliable and smooth information management system which is more favorable to their kind of organization.
What similarities between analog and digital signals?
ANALOG:continuous,rate of transmission is slow,less reliable 2 transmit,more noise,interference is more
DIGITAL:non continuous,rate of transmission is fast,more reliable 2 transmit,less noise,interference is less
Whats the Difference between a computer and a computer system?
Generally speaking (and using the language of the community), a computer is just the computer "box" (sometimes called a case, tower, or something similar). A computer system is the case, and also the screeen (or monitor), keyboard, mouse, speakers and all the other stuff that comes with a computer that makes it usable.
A decabyte is what comes before a hectobyte.
A hecotobyte comes before a kilobyte.
decabyte > hectobyte > kilobyte > megabyte > gigabyte > terabyte > petabyte > exabyte > zettabyte > yottabyte.
What is difference between a user and programmer?
In computers, a user is literally someone who uses the computer or the smart-phone or the e-reader. The user often is not an expert; he or she just owns the device and knows how it works. I am a good example: I'm an educated person, but computers are not my area of expertise. I know how to use various databases, edit a document, post something to a web-site, etc. But if you asked me about the technology of computers, I have no idea: I just know what steps I am supposed to take to make my computer do what I want it to do.
A programmer is someone who understands computers from a technological point of view. Programmers actually writes the code (the special language necessary to make the computer understand commands and perform various functions). Programmers often go to school to study computer technology, and they have expertise in writing routines (programs) that the computer will store. We users do not usually see those lines and lines of computer code, but we see the end result: thanks to the work of programmers, the computer will follow the commands the user types in.
What is the difference in between instruction and information given to a computer?
Instruction refers to specific commands or code given to a computer to perform a task or operation, such as executing a program or carrying out a calculation. Information, on the other hand, refers to data provided to the computer for processing, storage, or retrieval, such as input data or output results. In essence, instructions tell the computer what to do, while information is the content or data on which the computer operates.
What are the input and output devices used at point of sale terminal?
Input Devices:
- keyboard
- touch screen
- key pad
- mouse
Output Devices:
- receipt printer
- monitor
1410000000 bytes is the same as what gigabytes?
To convert bytes to gigabytes, you divide the byte value by 1,073,741,824 (2^30). Therefore, 1410000000 bytes is equal to approximately 1.31 gigabytes. This calculation is based on the fact that 1 gigabyte is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes.
What are the advantages of a a compiler over an interpreter b an interpreter over a compiler?
To run a program you've written, eg in JAVA, it must first be translated into machine code so the computer can read it. This is what compilers and interpreters do.
However, compilers convert the code all at once, save it, then run it; whereas interpreters translate the code one line at a time, as it is run.
Interpreters tend to result in faster translating of code so they are used mostly for debugging. This is because if you used a compiler, you'd have to re-compile your entire project every time you changed one little thing.
However, it's not very efficient to keep re-translating your code once you've finished writing it, because it would waste CPU time. Because of this, once code is done, it is normally compiled so that it runs faster and takes up less space. Another advantage of this is that your code is then much harder to copy without lengthy 'reverse engineering.'
There are so many examples of manual system. Some of them include entry of accounting journals manually, filling a manual register and so much more. More systems are not accurate and can be tedious.
Ah, isn't that a lovely question to ponder? Let's see, to convert megabytes to gigabytes, we simply divide by 1024. So, 248 megabytes is equal to 0.2421875 gigabytes. Isn't it wonderful how numbers can transform like magic on a canvas?
Give you an example using 4 to 16 alphanumeric characters and a underscore?
Oh, what a lovely question! Let's imagine a happy little example together. How about we paint a picture using the characters "Joy_1234"? See how those letters and numbers come together like colors on a canvas to create something unique and delightful? Just remember, there are no mistakes in art or in choosing usernames.
What is the difference between networking and network?
Networking is to access the network via the internet or by any kind of connectivity that involves, or requires a connection to do so. Network is the actual set up or topology of the computers.
How long is 256 KB in seconds?
When a computer performs calculations, it does so using bits: the 1's and 0's, which signify a voltage level on a transistor. A "1" means a voltage on the transistor, a "0" means no voltage. These bits, when grouped together, can be used to signify values. For instance, the value of 00000001 is "1", the value of "180" is 10110100. Letters can be encoded into these collections of bits: "A" encoded is written as 01000001. B through Z also each have their own eight digit code.
As it turns out, to encode the entire alphabet and all numbers, eight bits are needed. This collection of eight bits came to be known as a byte. Bytes eventually came to be accepted as a basic unit of information in computers, and so memory sizes were measured in bytes. A kilobyte is a thousand bytes or eight thousand bits. A megabyte is a million bytes, or eight million bits. A gigabyte is a billion bytes or eight billion bits. Now hard drives are measured in terabytes, which would be 1,000,000,000,000 bytes or 8,000,000,000 bits.
Measuring the speed of a kilobyte depends on the processor. If it were a 256 kbps (256 kilobyte per second) processor, it would take exactly one second. If it were a 1 kbps (1 kilobyte per second) processor, it would take 256 seconds. Most computers today operate in the Gbps range: billions of processes per second. To calculate how long it would take on a given processor, use the following formula:
Time = (number of kilobytes) / (processor speed)
For example: an 8 MHz processor processing 256 kilobytes of information would look like this:
Time = (256,000)/(8,000,000) = 0.000032 seconds
That is 32 microseconds, or 32 millionths of a second. It only gets faster with a more powerful processor!
Reply from 4.2.2.1 bytes equals 32 time equals 231ms TTL equals 51?
OK. That's a successful response to "PING 4.2.2.1",
except that it took quite a while to come back .
What's the question ?
What is faster 8 mega bytes per second or 5 mega bytes per second?
8 is more (faster) than 5. "megabytes per second" refers to the amount of data that can be transferred every second. By the way, if you do a contract for an Internet connection with an ISP, the bandwidth (popularly known as "speed") will usually not be specified in megabytes per second, but rather in megabits per second.

What kind of number is 0x00000081-0x00000083?
STOP 0x00000081 errors are likely caused by hardware or device driver issues.
1 byte = 8 bits
1 kilobit = 1024 bits
28.8 kilobits = 29491.2 bits
29491.2 bits = 3686.4 bytes
3686.4 bytes = 1843.2 pairs of bytes
1843.2 * 20 = 36864
How do you learn about hex numbers?
Start learning from this article en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal
GOOGLE that's where I always start for computer research.
What is the common factor of 30 and 60?
30
Any time the smaller number goes directly into the larger, the smaller is the GCF (HCF) and the larger is the LCM/LCD.
What does the term coasters mean when describing DVD burners?
"coaster" is slang for a bad burn, i.e. a failed burn that created an usuable disk. (So all it's good for is a coaster.)
