Which principle in the ACM Code of Avoid harm Ethics emphasizes the need to avoid harm to others? What term describes the use of social Social Media Analytics media data to analyze societal behaviors and trends? What type of memory is non-volatile and Read-Only Memory (ROM) stores data permanently even when the power is off? What is the global network that connects Internet millions of private, public, academic, and government networks? What is the application of computing Bioinformatics that analyzes biological data, especially large datasets like DNA sequences? What is the physical component of a Hardware computer system that you can touch and see? What type of software manages Operating System (OS) computer hardware and software resources? What do you call the field of study that Biostatistics combines biology, statistics, and computing to analyze large biological datasets? What organization provides a code of Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) ethics for computing professionals? What is the process of analyzing large Social Network Analysis datasets from social networks to study human behavior called? What term refers to a set of instructions Software that a computer follows to perform tasks? What term refers to the process of Game Design creating game characters, settings, and animations using computers? What do you call the technology that Virtual Reality (VR) allows players to experience and interact with games in a 3D environment? What is the term for the ability to stream Cloud Gaming video games over the internet without downloading them? What is the name of the programming C++ language often used to develop video games?

What type of computing hardware is Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) specifically designed to handle the complex graphics required in modern video games? 1. RAM (Random-Access Memory) can be easily rewritten and modified by users. 2. Cache memory is faster than RAM and helps improve CPU performance by storing frequently used data. 3. The first mechanical computer was developed by Charles Babbage in the early 19th century. 4. The Abacus, an ancient tool, is considered the first known calculating computer. 5. The Jacquard Loom, invented in the 19th century, used punch cards for programmable patterns, influencing later computer technology.
