1. Validation is the process of comparing data with a set of rules or values to see if the data is correct.
The five types of validation checks : alphabetic checks, numeric checks, range checks, consistency checks, and completeness checks.
2. Because data redundancy will make the process of inputting new data longer and also increase the chance of errors.
Because isolated datas will limit the access of data that is actually needed for certain purposes since different data are stored in different file.
3. A program to share the data in database.
The 5 strength of database approach : reduced data redundancy, improved data integrity, shared data, easier access, reduced development time.
4. I might use the Simple Query Wizard to search the information I need from a database so it will cut my time more.
Query by example is a feature that has a graphical user interface to assist users with retrieving data.
5. Object-oriented databases have several advantages compared with relational databases: they can store more types of data, access this data faster, and allow programmers to reuse objects.
Examples of applications appropriate for an object-oriented database include the following:
• A multimedia database stores images, audio clips, and/or video clips. For example, a GIS (geographic
information system) database stores maps and other geographic data. A voice mail system database stores audio messages. A television news station database stores audio and video clips.
• A groupware database stores documents such as schedules, calendars, manuals, memos, and reports. Users perform queries to search the document contents. For example, you can search people’s schedules for available meeting times.
• A computer-aided design (CAD) database stores data about engineering, architectural, and scientific designs. Data in the database includes a list of components of the item being designed, the relationship among the components, and previous versions of the design drafts.
• A hypertext database contains text links to other types of documents. A hypermedia database contains text, graphics, video, and sound. The Web contains a variety of hypertext and hypermedia databases. You can search these databases for items such as documents, graphics, audio and video clips, and links to Web pages.

1. Text messaging allows users to send and receive short text messages, typically fewer than 300 characters, on a phone or other mobile device or computer.
Options for text messaging :
• Mobile to Mobile: send a message from your mobile device to another mobile device
• Mobile to E-Mail: send a message from your mobile device to an e-mail address
• Web to Mobile: send a message from a text messaging Web site to a mobile device, or request that a Web site alert a mobile device with messages of breaking news and other updates
• Mobile to Provider: send a message by entering a common short code (CSC), which is a four- or five-digit number assigned to a specific content or wireless service provider, followed by the message, such as a vote for a television program contestant or an entry for a sweepstakes.
2. GPS satellites orbit Earth. Every thousandth of a second, each satellite sends a signal that indicates its current position to the GPS receiver, which determines its location on Earth by analyzing at least 3 separate satellite signals from the 24 satellites in orbit.
Individuals use the GPS in their mobile phone, vehicle, or may be to know their children's location, so they put the receiver on the children's bag, etc.
3. A local area network (LAN) is a network that connects computers and devices in a limited geographical area such as a home, school computer laboratory, office building. A metropolitan area network (MAN) is
a high-speed network that connects local area networks in a city or town and handles the bulk of communications activity across that region. A wide area network (WAN) is a network that covers a large geographic area (such as a city, country, or the world) using a communications channel that combines many types of media such as telephone lines, cables, and radio waves.
A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a LAN that is wireless.
4. A network topology refers to the layout of the computers and devices in a communications network. Five types of digital dedicated lines are ISDN lines, DSL, FTTP, T-carrier lines, and ATM.
5. Three types of digital modems are ISDN modems, DSL modems, and cable modems.
An ISDN modem sends digital data and information from a computer to an ISDN line and receives digital data and information from an ISDN line. A DSL modem sends digital data and information from a computer to a DSL line and receives digital data and information from a DSL line.A cable modem, sometimes called a

1. When turning on a computer that has been powered off completely, you are performing a cold boot. A warm boot is the process of using the operating system to restart a computer.
The kernel is memory resident, which means it remains in memory while the computer is running. Other parts of the operating system are nonresident, that is, these instructions remain on a storage medium until they are needed.
2. A user interface controls how you enter data and instructions and how information is displayed on the screen.
With a graphical user interface (GUI), you interact with menus and visual images such as buttons and other graphical objects to issue commands. While to configure devices, manage system resources, and troubleshoot network connections, network administrators and other advanced users work with a command-line interface.
3. With an operating system, you can download and install important operating system and utility updates. updates can include fixes to program bugs, or errors, enhancements to security, modifications to device drivers, access to new or expanded components such as desktop themes or games, and even updates to application software on the computer such as a Web browser or an e-mail program, and the automatic update feature automatically alert users when an update is available; further, it can be configured to download and install the update automatically.
4. During the back up process, the utility monitors progress and alerts you if it needs additional media, such as another disc.
Because they are compressed, you usually cannot use backup files in their backed up form. If you need to use a backup file, a restore utility reverses the process and returns backed up files to their original form. Backup utilities work with a restore utility.

With Bluetooth printing, a computer or other device transmits output to a printer via radio waves. With infrared printing, a printer communicates with a computer or other device using infrared light waves.
4. Ink-jet printer forms characters and graphics by spraying tiny drops of liquid ink onto a piece of paper.
Professionals require high image quality, such as photography studios, medical labs, and security identification systems, use dye-sublimation printers. These high-end printers cost thousands of dollars and print images in a wide range of sizes. Most dye-sublimation printers for the home or small business user, by contrast, typically print images in only one or two sizes and are much slower than their professional counterparts.
5. Surround sound system may contain speakers ( either satellite one or center one or rear one) and subwoofer.
Audio resolution is is the number of bytes that represent sound in a given time, is stated as a bit rate such as 8-bit, 16-bit, or 24-bit. The three examples of audio resolution is AM radio (8 bit), optical disc-quality sound (16 bit), and high quality digital audio editing (24 bit).

Short Answers
1. A computer is an electronic device, operating under the control of instructions stored in its own memory, that can accept data, process the data according to specified rules, produce results, and store the results for future use.
The information processing cycle is input, process, output, storage.
2. Prolonged or improper computer use can lead to injuries or disorders of the hands, wrists, elbows, eyes, neck, and back. Besides, computers usage can lead to another health risk, computer addiction .Computer addiction occurs when someone becomes obsessed with using a computer.
Computer manufacturing processes and computer waste are depleting natural resources and polluting the environment. When computers are discarded in landfills, they can release toxic materials and potentially
dangerous levels of lead, mercury, and flame retardants.
3. A Web application is a Web site that allows users to access and interact with software from any computer or device that is connected to the Internet.
Web 2.0 provide a means for users to share personal information, allow users to modify the Web site contents, and/or have software built into the site for users to access.
4. Seven categories of computer : PC, mobile computers/devices, embedded computer, super computer, mainframes, servers, and game consoles.
A computer’s size, speed, processing power, and price determine the category it best fits.
5. Many Web sites provide up-to-date medical, fitness, nutrition, or exercise information. These Web sites also maintain lists of doctors and dentists to help you find the one that suits your needs. They have chat rooms, so that you can talk to others diagnosed with similar conditions. Some Web sites even allow you to order prescriptions online.

A come back cheers !!!
Hello guys, it has been 3 years since my last post (it's too long). Sorry for not giving more information about things there. In this 1 year period, I experienced a lot of new things and I changed from just a Junior High School to a University student. I am really delighted that I finally reach this level.
Currently, I am taking Computer Science in Bina Nusantara University. Fortunately, I am in the Smart Class. It is a class taught in English (around 90%). I think this feature is really important, because it is a great advantage to always hear, write, and speak foreign languages, especially English. That's why I decided to join this special class when invited.
Overall, study in BiNus is a great thing to do. You will face new materials that you never face before in Senior High School, but they will acquire your basic in your last level of study, so be sure to prepare well your basic, especially in logic and mathematics (for Computer Science future undergraduates). If you are interested enough to join this university, I will say, "Go and take it !" The reason is simple, BiNus University will not lose in competing with other universities. It has controlled, good rules, comfortable study environment, and supportive teams or groups for your either hard skills or soft skills.
OK guys, that's all for this time. Since I am still the fresh undergraduate, I am not able to share many experiences with you all about my life in BiNus University, but I will keep updating the latest news to you all regarding my study and facts about the great BiNus University.
Keep moving forward, look to the front, and reach your dreams !!!
