The ability of a digital device to be easily moved and used in different locations.

The speed and efficiency of a device in processing data and completing tasks.

The ability to store data and information within a device.

How users interact with a digital device, including input and output methods.

A specific type of storage that multiple devices can access over a network, allowing easy file and resource sharing.

A storage technique that uses multiple hard drives to protect against data loss, ensuring data safety even if one drive fails.

A small, compact computer system designed for specific tasks requiring high processing power, often used in robotics or data processing.

Digital devices that are worn by users, providing access to information and control over devices without needing a phone.

Raw, unprocessed, and unorganized facts or figures collected and stored by various sources.

Data that has been processed, organized, and analyzed to make it meaningful, useful, and actionable.

Data that is organized and formatted in a specific way that makes it easy to search, analyze, and process. Typically stored in databases or spreadsheets.

Data that is not organized or formatted in a specific way, making it more difficult to search, analyze, and process.

Businesses collect data from various sources, like sales records, social media interactions, web logs, sensors, and audio/video recordings.

Data is raw and unprocessed, while information is processed and organized. Data is not useful on its own, while information provides insights and knowledge.

Data processing transforms raw data into meaningful information.

Data is the input for generating information, while information is the output of data processing.

System software is essential for a computer to function, like a building's foundation. It controls the hardware and makes everything work together.

Application software is like a tool used for specific tasks, like a word processor or painting software. It lets you do something specific.

Application software can be customized or configured to suit the specific needs of users or businesses, much like tailoring a suit to fit perfectly.

Operating systems are essential system software that acts as the bridge between hardware and user, managing resources and enabling communication. It's the brain of the computer.

Device drivers act like translators, allowing the computer to understand and communicate with specific hardware devices.

Utility programs are like helpers, performing specific tasks like file compression, disk cleanup, or virus scanning.

Binary units are based on powers of 2, used to represent digital information, while denary units are based on powers of 10, like everyday numbers.

Using the correct unit for your context is important to avoid confusion. For example, kibibytes (KiB) are used for binary units, while kilobytes (KB) are used for denary units.
