Act of processing large sets of data that is converted into a chart, graph, and other presentations
What is Data Visualization?
Define an Algorithm
What is a procedure/formula for solving a problem that is based on a sequence of steps.
Define a computer
What is a machine that automatically executes sets of instructions to perform specific tasks?
What is the internet?
the 7 Concepts
What is Change, Expression, Identity, Power, Space, Systems, Values & Ethics?
Data Life Cycle Stages
What is Data Creation, Storage, Usage, Preservation, Destruction?
Components of an algorithm
What is Instructions, Variables, Conditionals, Loops?
Types of computers spoken about in class
What are Embedded Computers, Personal Computers, Mainframe Computers, and Servers?
The networks by size
What is Personal Area Network (PAN), Local Area Network (LAN), Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), & Wide Area Network (WAN)?
Different Types of Change (Name 3)
What is Change of Form, Change of State, Change of values, Incremental (Evolutionary/Adaptive), Radical Change (Transformational/Extends/Combines)?
DIKW Pyramid
What is a pyramid that represents the relationships between Data, Information, Knowledge, and Wisdom & adds value to it?
3 main ways of representing an Algorithm
What is Natural Language, Programming Language, and FlowCharts?
All computers function on the same model
What is Input -> Process -> Output?
Name the generations of computing
1st: Vacuum Tubes
2nd: Transistors
3rd: Integrated Circuits
4th: Microprocessors
5th: AI
Difference between Values and Ethics
Values: Individual beliefs that motivate people to act one way. (serves guide for human behavior)
Ethics: Guidelines that establish what conduct is right/wrong
Types of Data (Name at least 3)
What is Financial, Medical, Meteorological, Geographical, Scientific, Metadata, (Qualitative & Quantitative)
Overall goal of Algorithms. What process is used.
What is to make people's lives easier and "Input-Process-output"?
Name at least 2 types of user interfaces spoken about in class.
What is graphical user interface, Voice activated, Haptic interface?
Define Digitization vs Digitalization
Digitization: the process of making existing data to digital
Digitalization: use of digital systems to change the structure/operation of a business (cannot occur w/o digitization)
Define Systems Thinking
What is the analysis of digital & real world systems by looking at how the "pieces" and their relationships work to create a greater purpose than the pieces alone?
Privacy: the ability of individuals/groups to determine for themselves when, how, & to what extent information about themselves is shared w/ other.
3 Key aspects: Freedom of intrusion, Control of information about oneself, Freedom of surveillance
2 reasons why AI systems have built in bias
What is human algorithm developers unknowingly introduce bias into their models OR the training data set is biased or incomplete?
Difference between a high-level language and a low-level language. Give example of each.
High-Level: code written closer to the human language (Ex: Python)
Low-Level: Code written that must be specified in terms of the capabilities of the processor. (Ex: Machine code such as Binary code)
