A buffer is a temporary storage area used to hold data being transferred between two devices that operate at different speeds. It ensures smooth data processing and prevents bottlenecks.
Data Communication refers to the exchange of data between two or more connected computers or devices. It involves the transfer of data from one point to another over a network, ensuring accurate and instant information dissemination.
Data compression involves the process of encoding information using fewer bits or other information-bearing units than an unencoded representation would use through different compression algorithms.
Exporting is the process of shipping goods produced in one country for sale in another and the transfer of data from one computer or application to another. This term has significant relevance in international trade and data handling.
A floppy disk is a thin, flexible plastic disk with a magnetic coating, usually encased in rigid plastic, once popular for computer data storage and transfer. It has been largely supplaneously to compact discs, memory cards, and USB drives.
A handshake can refer to either a personal physical greeting between two individuals or an exchange of signals between computers or peripherals to establish a communication link.
A global communications system consisting of millions of computer networks interconnected by modems, telephone cables, wireless networks, and satellite links. The Internet facilitates data transfer, remote database access, and email, with high-level services such as the World Wide Web allowing multimedia content display.
A parallel printer is a type of printer that connects to a computer using a parallel port, allowing for faster data transfer rates compared to serial connections.
A serial printer is a type of printing device that connects to a computer's serial port, using a communication protocol to send data interspersed with timing signals for printing documents.
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a standard interface used for connecting peripherals to computers and other devices, offering improved data transfer rates and ease of connectivity as compared to earlier technologies like parallel ports.
The process of providing data from a smaller computer system, such as a microcomputer, to a larger system, such as a mainframe or minicomputer, or to another microcomputer.
