1. What is the ability of the world's populace to volunteer and collaborate on large projects called?
-CREATIVE SURPLUS 2. Joining as a group to use a specific product more efficiently is called?
-COLLABORATIVE CONSUMPTION 3. What field of study is helping robots evolve toward a more human appearance?
-HUMAN ROBOT INTERACTION? 4. Describe the function of the following: patient simulators, VeriChips, biomedical chip implants, RFID tags
-PATIENT SIMULATOR- IMITATES PATIENT CONDITIONS AND HOSPITAL STAFF GETS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PRACTICE MEDICAL INTERVENTIONS.
-VERICHIPS- MICROPROCESSOR USED FOR VERIFICATION AND IDENTIFICATION PURPOSES.
-BIOMEDICAL CHIP IMPLANTS- CHIP WITH A NUMBER LINKED TO MEDICAL RECORDS.
-RFID TAGS- USES RADIO FREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS TO TRANSFER DATA FOR PURPOSES OF AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION AND TRACKING. 5. Define the following terms: eight bytes, eight kilobytes, eight bits, eight characters, gigabyte, terabyte, kilobyte, megabyte BYTE: A UNIT OF DIGITAL INFO. IN COMPUTING AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS. BASIC ADDRESSABLE ELEMENT IN MANY COMPUTER ARCHITECTURES.
