Yes. It converts what are you recording in to electric signal and this signal put INTO a computer.
How to you check if a laptop computer is stolen?
You find out whether your laptop is hacked by taking it to a computer security expert.
MalwareBytes or some other antivirus program is excellent for finding viruses and the like.
If you are in doubt, do not enter your bank information or anything you don't want sold to the highest bidder for the purposes of stealing your identity onto the computer until after it's been checked.
How does one go about applying wallpaper to their computer desktop?
There are two ways to do this. One way is to save the image you want as your wallpaper, then go to your desktop and right-click. Then, you click on personalize and then you click on desktop background at the bottom of the window and choose the image you saved. The other way is to find the image you want, and then right-click it and press set as background. Those are the two ways.

Explain the working principle of the hard disk drive?
A hard disk uses platters, round discs that are coated with a special media that is designed to store data in magnetic patterns. These discs rotate so that heads, electromagnetic read/write devices, can either record data onto the platters or read what the platters already contain. Each platter has tracks which is then broken down into sectors which is where pieces of data is actually recorded.
What is the soul of your computer?
If your talking hardware, It would be the motherboard, it lets the rest of the components communicate with eachother.

disadvantages:
sampling error
Is there any cool tricks you can do on your computer?
There are some simple ways to make a computer run faster. Computers slow down if their hard drives are nearly full, so deleting unneeded files can help. Another way to improve speed is to use a registry cleaner tool such as CCleaner, which can unclog behind-the-scenes buildup.

It is July 2018. The contracting officer at Fort Jefferson is about to award a contract for a computer system that the Post Engineer will use to track work orders and inventory. This $15,000 computer system is readily available within a few days from any of several local vendors. The Post Engineer intends to use the system in a warehouse for which construction will begin in November 2018; the warehouse will be complete in December 2018. The contract cites FY 2018, Operations and Maintenance, Army (OMA) funds. What should you advise the contracting officer?
What is an RFC in computer engineering?
RFC is an acronym from "Request For Comments". RFC is a document describing the specifications of an recommended technology. Despite the word "request" being in the name, an RFC document becomes a standard if it's ratified.
Why are processors used in computers?
Placing an embedded microprocessor system into a product makes the product smart. It can then be programmed to do things that are too difficult or expensive using conventional technologies such as logic, or time switches, and so on. Link such a smart product to the Internet and it can do even more. For example, products can be programmed to do self-diagnostic checks and to report back to the manufacturer. Not only does this provide the potential to collect data that can be used to improve products, it can also allow for the manufacturer to inform the user of potential problems, so that action can be taken. This opens up possibilities for improved customer service as well as new services. Basically, embedded microprocessors enable firms to compete on product and service innovation, by adding product and service features that customers value, but which would be largely impossible without this technology.
Why teenagers are keen in using technology to communicate?
ANSWERpacmancheesy
I myself am a teenager, and i use the internet a lot.
Teens use the internet to talk to their friends on social sites (like twitter, myspace and piczo), play online games, access information for school work (or even interests) and a number of other things.
Adults often hear from the media that the majority of teenagers get on the internet and talk to strangers and send viruses etc. That's not true. That's not even a generalisation. Teens sometimes find it easier to talk to a friend/ person on the computer because you cant see expression or tone of voice and you have more time to think about what you will say .
So to sum up, teenagers use it for a huge number of things including; socialising (on social sites), games and information.
How do you get your little brother off the computer?
If he's spent over 45 minutes on the computer not doing homework or anything important, you can just ask your little brother to get off the computer and say that you need a turn on the computer since he's been on the computer for a while.
What is the type of device that is used to pass information into the computer?
The generic name is "input device". Examples include keyboards, touch pads, mice, microphones.
What are the desirable quality of information?
The characteristics of a goog information system are as follows:
1. RELEVANCE
2. ACCURATE
3. COMPLETENESS
4. CONFIDENCE IN SOURCE
5. TIMELY
6. DETAILED
7. COMMUNICATED TO THE RIGHT PERSON
8. COST EFFECTIVE
What is the first step in diagnosing a computer that was working well just a day before?
This really depends on what's wrong with your computer. The first step would be to check if it's hardware or software, try a restart, and then troubleshoot using your computer. If you think you have a virus, download a virus scanner (a trusted one, such as AVG), a registry cleaner (CCleaner, for instance), and a malware cleaner (Malware Bytes) to cover your bases.
Explain the functional units of a basic computer with a neat diagram?
The function of the computer motherboard is to act as the main circuit board that connects and communicates to all the devices and components attached. The motherboard also facilitates the communication of devices with each other. Motherboards are designed around the type of central processing unit (CPU) that will be installed. Because motherboards act as the base for all other computer components, the number of PCI slots, USB headers, memory slots, SATA headers, and other slots should be checked ahead of time before building a personal computer
Speed
Measuring the motherboard's speed can be difficult and varies, depending on the CPU attached. A motherboard has a maximum front side bus (FSB) speed, for example, but a CPU with that speed as well must be used. Motherboards have a chipset, which directs the flow of data between the various buses which have attached components; its primary function is to traffic the information to its appropriate destinations. CPUThe CPU is the computer's brain, responsible for taking commands and executing them. CPUs are only compatible with certain motherboards. CPUs attach to the CPU socket on the motherboard, pin side down, and a lever is clamped to hold it down. CPUs have heat sinks to keep from overheating, as well as a fan. When purchasing motherboards or CPUs, they are usually bundled together as a single package.
PCI SlotsPeripheral component interconnect refers to PCI slots, which allow components to be placed directly into the motherboard. There are as many as 10 types of PCI slots available on motherboards, with the larger slots having faster speeds. PCI Slots have speeds of 33 MHz and 66 MHz ,while PCI-Express slots may be as fast as 2.5 GHz. PCI-Express slots are also full-duplex, meaning data is sent and received at the same time.
Graphics CardA graphics card, or graphics controller, is a device that takes data and converts it into images to be displayed onto a computer monitor. Older graphics cards were plugged into the advanced graphics port (AGP) on the motherboard, while new graphics cards use the PCI-Express slot. High performance cards can be large enough to take up two slots. Even more sophisticated cards allow two identical cards to be linked together, with the use of a scalable link interface (SLI) Bridge.
Other ComponentsMotherboards have external connectors for mouse and keyboard devices, display adapters, and audio jacks, like output and microphone. USB ports also allow USB devices to be plugged into the motherboard, which can take the place of mouse, keyboard and audio devices.Where might one be able to purchase a 4GB laptop?
There are many places to purchase a 4GB laptop. It would be best to check Amazon or eBay. Other stores such as Apple, Fry's, Dell and HP also have laptops that fit this category.
