Multiple choice

Which invention was responsible for the deaths of many people in the early days of the internet?

  1. Dial-up modem

  2. Ethernet cable

  3. Wi-Fi

  4. Bluetooth
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Early dial-up modems were often unreliable and caused many people to lose their internet connection, leading to frustration and even death in some cases.

Multiple choice

What is the difference between a circuit-switched network and a packet-switched network?

  1. Circuit-switched networks establish a dedicated connection between two devices, while packet-switched networks do not.

  2. Circuit-switched networks are more reliable than packet-switched networks.

  3. Circuit-switched networks are cheaper than packet-switched networks.

  4. Circuit-switched networks are more secure than packet-switched networks.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Circuit-switched networks establish a dedicated connection between two devices, which means that the entire path between the two devices is reserved for their use. Packet-switched networks, on the other hand, do not establish a dedicated connection between two devices. Instead, data is sent in packets, which are small units of data that are routed through the network based on their destination address.

Multiple choice

What is the difference between a local area network (LAN) and a wide area network (WAN)?

  1. A LAN is a network that connects devices in a single location, while a WAN is a network that connects devices in different locations.

  2. A LAN is more reliable than a WAN.

  3. A LAN is cheaper than a WAN.

  4. A LAN is more secure than a WAN.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A LAN is a network that connects devices in a single location, such as a home or an office. A WAN, on the other hand, is a network that connects devices in different locations, such as different buildings or different cities.
