Computer Fundamentals and System Concepts

The control unit is often referred to as the 'nerve center' or 'master dispatcher' of the CPU because it coordinates the activities of all other components.

Distributed logic refers to a system architecture where processing power and logic are spread across multiple components or nodes rather than being centralized in a single processor.

Konrad Zuse's Z1 and Z2 were early computers built using mechanical components, specifically electromechanical relays and levers, before the move to fully electronic vacuum tube systems.

A virus that changes its virus signature (i.e. its binary pattern) every time it replicates and infects a new file in order to avoid detection by an antivirus program.

A type of computer virus that is encoded as a macro embedded in a document. Many applications, such as Microsoft Word and Excel, support powerful macro languages. These applications allow you to embed a macro in a document, and have the macro execute each time the document is opened.

A jumper is a short length of conductor used to close a break in or bypass part of an electrical circuit. Jumpers are typically used to set up or adjust printed circuit boards, such as the motherboards of computers.

The third generation computers include keyboards, monitors and are interfaced with an operating system which allows them to run many applications.

All of the above options are correct. They refer to transfer of applications from one PC to another.

It is not a type of transmission.

CPU stands for Central Processing Unit, which is the primary component of a computer that performs most of the processing inside the machine.

A computer program is essentially a set of instructions or a list of information that tells a computer how to perform a specific task.

Traditional computers were excellent at processing numbers and text, but they lacked the connectivity and networking capabilities required for the effective exchange of information seen in modern systems.

The UNIVAC (Universal Automatic Computer) was the first general-purpose electronic digital computer designed for business and commercial use.

Output devices, such as monitors or printers, are responsible for converting processed machine data into a format that humans can read or understand.

An Integrated Circuit (IC) is a set of electronic circuits on one small flat piece (or chip) of semiconductor material, usually silicon.
