Answers:
1.
Three
methods of data transmission that are faster than a regular modem connection:
·
ISDN LINE (Integrated
Services Digital Network)
·
Wi-Fi
·
3G (Third Generation)
2. Log on is important to
make a connection to a remote computer. Because users must be familiar with log-on procedures to go
online.
3. A pop-up menu
is a list of command options that can “pop up” anywhere on the screen when
you click the right mouse button. In contrast to pull-down or pull-up menus,
pop-up menus are not connected to a menu bar.
A pull-down
menu, also called a drop-down menu, is a list of options
that pulls down from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Cascading menus (left), menus that seem to fly back to the left or explode out to the
right, wherever there is space.
4. Importing is defined as getting data from
another source and then converting it into a format compatible with the program
in which you are currently working.
Exporting is defined as transforming data
into a format that can be used in another program and then transmitting it.
5. OCR (Optical
character recognition) used for scanned text from images (pictures of the text) to
an editable text format (usually ASCII) that can be imported into a word
processing application and manipulated.
