Gallaugher text Quiz 3(Chapter 5-7) Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) Chapter 5 Question 1: What is Moore's Law? A. The law that states computer performance per dollar doubles every 18 months. B. The law that states computer performance per dollar doubles every 24 months. C. The law that states computer performance per dollar doubles every 12 months. D. The law that states computer performance per dollar halves every 18 months. Answer: A Reason : To appreciate the history and future of technological development, especially in computing, it is necessary to have a firm grip of Moore's Law. For future managers and IT experts, this information is vital for foreseeing technology changes and planning appropriately. Question 2: What is the primary function of a microprocessor in a computer? A. Store data permanently. B. Execute the instructions of a computer program. C. Provide a user interface. D. Manage network connections. Answer: B Reason : Understanding the role of a microprocessor in a computer is fundamental knowledge for anybody interested in or employed in the disciplines of information systems and technology.

Question 3: The relevance of "faster, cheaper" computing, sometimes known as Moore's Law, is discussed. A. It has no impact on industries. B. It has reduced the speed of computers. C. It has impacted almost every industry by providing more powerful and less expensive computing. D. It has made computing devices more expensive. Answer: C Reason : Recognizing the far-reaching effects of computer technology advances is crucial for comprehending the development of diverse sectors and planning the integration of technology into company operations and products. Question 4: What does RAM (Random-access memory) in computers do? A. Provides permanent storage. B. Provides temporary storage and fast access for executing computer programs and files. C. Executes the instructions of a computer program. D. Manages network connections. Answer: B Reason : IT workers and managers need a solid grounding in RAM's function in order to make educated choices about computing resources, since this understanding is fundamental to understanding how computers process data and execute programs. Question 5: What has the fifth wave of computing, characterized by ubiquitous computing, enabled?

A. Limited the use of computing to mainframes. B. Made computing devices larger and more expensive. C. Embedded computing in everyday devices, making them “smarter” and more useful. D. Reduced the functionality of computing devices. Answer: C Reason : Innovation and learning how technology may be implemented in different goods and services to improve functioning and generate new opportunities need an awareness of the capabilities and possibilities brought about by the fifth wave of computing. Chapter 6 Question 1: What is a one-sided market in the context of network effects? A. A market that derives its value from two distinct classes of users. B. A market that derives most of its value from a single class of users. C. A market that does not benefit from network effects. D. A market that restricts access to only one class of users. Answer: B Reason : Recognizing how value is produced in networks and how specific platforms or technologies establish and retain dominance via network effects requires an appreciation of the idea of one-sided marketplaces. Question 2: What is a two-sided market? A. A market where both sides are identical and derive equal value. B. A market that is comprised of two distinct categories of participant, both of which are needed

to deliver value for the network to work. C. A market that restricts participation to two user entities. D. A market that does not allow cross-side exchange benefits. Answer: B Reason : To effectively strategize in marketplaces impacted by network effects, it is essential to have a firm grasp of the idea of two-sided markets and the value that one side brings to the other. Question 3: How difficult is it for a new technology to compete with an existing one that has benefited from the network effect? A. The new technology only needs to be slightly better than the established technology. B. The new technology must exceed the value of the established technology and also compensate for existing user benefits and complementary products. C. The new technology must be cheaper than the established technology. D. The new technology must be compatible with the established technology. Answer: B Reason : Market entrance and competition strategies must take into account the difficulties of competing with existing technologies that have a network effect. Question 4: What is the impact of network effects on innovation within a standard? A. It stifles all forms of innovation. B. It encourages innovation within the standard as developers are assured of a market. C. It encourages innovation only outside the standard. D. It has no impact on innovation.

Answer: B Reason : Strategic technical development, ensuring that innovations are consistent with current norms, and spotting possibilities within established networks all need an awareness of how network effects affect innovation. Question 5: What is meant by "cross-side exchange benefit" in a two-sided market? A. A decrease in the number of users on one side of the market creates a rise on the other side. B. An increase in the number of users on one side of the market creates a rise on the other side. C. A change in one side of the market does not affect the other side. D. Both sides of the market decrease simultaneously. Answer: B Reason : Recognizing how entities in a two-sided market impact each other and how growth and value are produced from such networks requires an appreciation of cross-side exchange advantages. Chapter 7 Question 1: What is the primary purpose of using Twitter in the context of surgeries at Henry Ford Hospital? A. To provide live updates of a football match. B. To serve as an educational tool by live-tweeting during surgeries. C. To advertise the hospital's services. D. To communicate with patients directly.

Answer: B Reason : Henry Ford Hospital is a teaching hospital, and the paragraph reveals that surgeons and residents there have used Twitter during brain procedures. Question 2: What challenge does Twitter face regarding its users and site visits? A. Most active users post and read tweets using Twitter.com. B. Most active users post and read tweets using third-party applications. C. Twitter does not allow third-party applications. D. All users must visit Twitter.com to post tweets. Answer: B Reason : Ads on Twitter may have less of an effect since many users infrequently use the site and the majority of active users utilize third-party programs to send and view tweets. Question 3: What is a "folksonomy" in the context of Web 2.0? A. A government-regulated taxonomy. B. A keyword-based classification system created by user communities. C. A system that prevents users from tagging content. D. A proprietary classification system used by web developers. Answer: B Reason : Folksonomies, as defined in the text, are user-generated keyword taxonomies (also known as social tagging) that aid in the organization of material.
