The following are components of an information system. Which one is described as the computer and its peripheral equipment?
- A.
Data
- B.
Telecommunication
- C.
Software
- D.
Hardware
Correct Answer
D. HardwareExplanation
Hardware refers to the physical components of a computer system, including the computer itself and its peripheral equipment such as keyboards, monitors, printers, and storage devices. This contrasts with software, which refers to the programs and instructions that tell the hardware what to do. Telecommunication, on the other hand, refers to the transmission of information over long distances using electronic means. Therefore, hardware is the correct answer as it specifically describes the computer and its peripheral equipment.Rate this question:

All of the following are circumstances why we need to reboot our computer except for;
- A.
Computer has frozen
- B.
Computer program does not run at all
- C.
Email cannot be sent or received
- D.
Printer would print but too slow
Correct Answer
D. Printer would print but too slowExplanation
Rebooting a computer is typically done to resolve issues related to the operating system or software. When a computer freezes, it becomes unresponsive, and a reboot can help to clear any temporary glitches and restore normal functionality. Similarly, if a computer program does not run at all, rebooting can help in restarting the system and resolving any software conflicts. Email issues can also be resolved by rebooting the computer, as it can refresh the network connections and fix any temporary communication problems. However, a slow printer is not a problem that can be fixed by rebooting the computer, as it is usually related to printer hardware or settings.Rate this question:
