The Illinois Technology Standards require that student performance be assessed with regard to computer history and terminology. You are probably quite familiar with computer jargon, and it's almost an insult to your intelligence to have your knowledge of computer terminology assessed. Nonetheless, we'll try to make this as easy as possible. If you don't know or understand any of the terms in the table below, you'll want to review Chapter 35, "Jargon," of The Little Mac Book. This chapter will provide you with all that information you will need.
In this exercise you will prepare yourself for a quiz dealing with both computer terminology. Follow the guidelines below, and when you are ready for your quiz, let your instructor know.
Review the following words. In some cases, these words apply primarily
to the Macintosh operating platform. Nonetheless, the bulk of
these words constitute the standard language of computer terminology
that almost everyone should understand. If you do not understand
the meaning of one or more of these words, either ask someone
for a definition, or review Chapter 35: Jargon in The Little
Mac Book. This book may be obtained from your course instructor.
