A _______ is a group of computers, printers, and other devices that are connected together with cables.

A computer on the network that shares disk resources or provides services to other computers on the network.

A computer on a network that is not a server.

a small, simple, inexpensive device that joins multiple computers together at a low-level network protocol layer.

________ look nearly identical to hubs, but a ______ generally contains more "intelligence" than a hub. Unlike hubs, ________ are capable of inspecting the data packets as they are received and restricting the packets to just one area of the network. This reduces network traffic and speeds up network performance.

_____ ____ _______, usually defined by a geographic location such as a classroom or building.

____ ____ _______, a wide-area network spans a large physical distance. A ___ like the Internet spans most of the World.

The now global computer network that makes worldwide email and web browsing possible.

A network that is geographically defined, that uses internet protocols. They are used to reduce internet traffic, and to ensure security.

In a ______-______ environment a centralized high speed server provides client PCs access to files, printing, communications, and other services. ______-______ networks are better suited to large organizations because of their speed and centralization.

A ____-__-____ network allows two or more PCs to pool their resources. Individual resources like disk drives, CDROM drives, and even printers are transformed into shared, collective resources that are accessible from every PC. ____-__-____ networks are perfect for home and small office networks.

___________ models use printing inks to display color. Colors seen in these models are the result of reflected light.

_______ is the method used to keep a publication together.

The three types of distribution include ___ _________, _______, & __________ __ ______.

Single page brochures do not require binding, and therefore are just folded. Flyers and brochures are examples of this type of publication. A brochure is easily mailed after a tri-fold binding. Some multiple page publications are also folded together for distribution.

This type of binding is sewn or stapled down the center and then folded. If staples are used, a special stapler that has a longer reach would need to be used. This is an inexpensive way of binding pages and is fairly secure.

This type of binding is stapled down the side of the publication. Although it is inexpensive, it is not the sturdiest method of binding. This type of binding is still easily distributed through the mail and by hand.

This type of binding requires holes to be punched in the publication. The cost is higher than stapling due to purchasing a binder. It is sturdier than the side staple, and is used mainly for hand distribution.

This type of binding requires holes to be punched in the publication. You must have a comb binding machine in order to produce this yourself, otherwise, it may be taken to a publisher to have done. This method is somewhat durable, and may be hand delivered or mailed. A variety of colors could add some excitement to your publication!

This type of binding requires holes to be punched in the publication. This type of binding will most likely have to be taken to a publisher. It is very durable and mainly distributed by hand.

The most durable method of binding is called perfect binding. This method involves sewing sections together (like the saddle stitch) and then gluing them with a flat binding. Textbooks normally use this type of binding.

These file extensions designate the most commonly used graphics. Typically, .gif is used for line drawings with few colors; .jpg is used for photographic quality images with millions of colors; .png is used for uncomplicated, vector-based images; .tiff is used for large files of high quality (4)

These file extensions designate those most commonly used for sound. Highly compressed but also high quality, .mp3 and .mp4 are most frequently used today. Files created using .wav or .aiff are typically large, uncompressed and of high quality. These are the native formats for Windows and Mac, respectively. (4)

It is impossible to say that one video format is superior to another. With high quality raw footage and good compression algorithms, each file type has merit. For web applications, however, today’s most used video file type is .flv due to its cross-platform accessibility, small file size, and excellent image quality.Windows Media Video Audio Video Interleave File Quicktime Video Clip Real Media Motion Pictures Expert Group-4 Flash Video Shockwave Flash (7)
