People use their desktop computer in a single location because it is a stationary device that is not designed for portability. Unlike laptops or PDAs, which are designed to be carried around and used in various locations, desktop computers are typically set up in one specific area, such as a home office or a workplace. They are larger and have more components, making them less convenient to move around. Additionally, desktop computers are often connected to external peripherals such as monitors, keyboards, and mice, further limiting their mobility.Rate this question:

Icons are visual representations that allow users to quickly identify and access different types of files, programs, or folders on their computer. They are usually small images or symbols that are displayed on the desktop or within file managers, and clicking on an icon typically opens or launches the associated file, program, or folder. Icons help to organize and visually represent the various elements and resources on a computer system, making it easier for users to navigate and interact with their files and applications.Rate this question:

The motherboard also acts as a central hub connecting all other components, making it a major source of heat generation. Cooling systems such as fans and heat sinks are often used to dissipate this heat and prevent damage to the motherboard and other components.Rate this question:

GUI provides a more intuitive and user-friendly way of interacting with the computer compared to a command-line interface (CLI), which relies on text commands. The cursor is a graphical representation of the user's input position on the screen, and the monitor is the display device. However, it is the GUI that enables visual interaction with the computer.Rate this question:

This is useful when the sender wants to keep everyone in the loop and ensure that all recipients receive the response. Bcc is not the correct answer because it stands for blind carbon copy and is used to send a copy of an email to someone without the other recipients knowing. Reply and Forward are also not the correct answers as they do not include all the recipients in the response.Rate this question:

This powder is transferred onto the paper using heat and pressure, resulting in sharp and durable prints. Therefore, a toner cartridge is the appropriate option for printing with dry ink.Rate this question:

Laptops and tablets are portable, smaller than desktop computers, and employees can take them to meetings. However, the statement "Employees can get the most processing power from laptops and tablets" is not an advantage of these devices. This suggests that laptops and tablets may not provide the same level of processing power as desktop computers.Rate this question:

A place where contact information is listed
-
Facebook
-
Phone book
-
Address book
-
Text book
Correct Answer
A. Address bookExplanation
An address book is a place where contact information is listed. It is typically a physical or digital book that contains names, addresses, phone numbers, and other contact details of individuals or organizations. It serves as a convenient reference for storing and retrieving contact information, making it easier to communicate and stay connected with others. Unlike Facebook, which is a social media platform, or a phone book, which specifically lists phone numbers, an address book encompasses a broader range of contact information. A textbook, on the other hand, is a different type of book that is used for educational purposes and does not focus on contact information.Rate this question:
