What are the disadvantages of phototransistor?
Phototransistors have several important advantages that separate them from other optical sensors. For example, phototransistors produce a higher current than photodiodes while also being able to produce a voltage, something that photoresistors cannot do. Phototransistors are very fast and are capable of providing nearly instantaneous output. Phototransistors are relatively inexpensive, simple, and small enough to fit several of them onto a single integrated computer chip.

What computers are vulnerable to hackers?
Historically speaking, any computer that is connected to a public network and running a Microsoft Windows operating system is more vulnerable to attack than any other operating system. Particularly, out of date, and unpatched versions of windows are worse off than otherwise. This is due to several factors - Windows Operating Systems usually have more security vulnerabilities than other operating systems do, but mostly they are more vulnerable because of the popularity of windows. There are many more people using Windows than other Operating Systems, so there is more incentive for hackers to target it.

What is computer architecture and computer organization?
What is architecture?
Architecture is the bit of the CPU (Central Processing Unit, or Processor) and/or software. The software can be an Operating System (such as Windows, MAC, or Linux) or even Video Games and other applications.
The bit is the amount of data flow that goes through the CPU. Common bits today are 32-bit and 64-bit. If you have a 32-bit CPU, you MUST use a 32-bit OS (Operating System). If you have a 64-bit you can run BOTH 32-bit or 64-bit.
What should you chose?
If you have a 64-bit CPU, choose 64-bit. It can allocate more RAM (Random Access Memory) and can run both 32-bit and 64-bit software.
Seeing x86?
That is a 32-bit architecture. Why is it called this? I have no idea.
What is a computer organization?
When you install an OS, you are asked your name, and organization you work for. It is to register that computer in your name in case anyone needs to find out who it belongs to. If you don't have an organization you can put your address, or leave it blank.
no,
What is logical link control and medium access control?

Why computers use digital data?
Have you ever studied analog computers? Didn't think so.
The first system I worked on in 1978 was a military avionics unit containing 6 digital and 2 high speed hybrid (digital & analog) computers in a 6 inch square by 2 foot long box. Analog drifts and can rarely give more than 2 digit precision answers.
