What is web based information system? Advantages and disadvantages of web-based information systems?

Electronic commerce (E-commerce) Web based information system: An important component of modern computer based information system is web based information system. An information system based on the Internet is called a web-based information system. That is, when a user can use an information system through the Internet and the World Wide Web, that information system is called a web-based information system. A user of an information system on the Internet is called an Internet client. In this case, the client can use this information system from anywhere in the world by being connected to the Internet. Web based database is used in this system. When an Internet client sends an information request, the Web server verifies the client's right to receive the information in response to the request and sends the requested information to the client if it is a valid client. With the help of web based information system, the data of an organization can be collected, stored, presented, modern...

What is Network Sharing and Security?

Network Sharing and Security Network Sharing: Network sharing is a feature that allows sharing of resources over a network, such as files, documents, folders, media, etc. It is made accessible to other user computers on networks. Network sharing enables data to be accessed across multiple devices or at the same time. By connecting a device to a network, other user devices on the network can share and exchange information through the network. File Sharing: File sharing is the practice of distributing or providing access to digital media, such as computer programs, multimedia (audio, images, and video), documents, or e-books. File sharing can be saved in different ways. Common methods of storage, transmission, and dissemination are manual sharing uses such as removable media, centralized computer servers, web-based hyperlinked documents, and distributed peer-to-peer networking.

What is a client-server network? How many types and what? How does client server network work?

Client-server network Usually when we receive any data, the computer from which we receive the data or service is called server. We are clients or consumers because we serve from it. In this network, both workstation and server computers have the opportunity to work autonomously with their own CPU and memory. It consists of a graphical user interface or front end program on the client workstation and other facilities. It stores the back end server programs of one or more servers. In other words, a suitable network for centrally storing data, ensuring security, running various applications and running the network is a client-server network. In this network, one computer owns the resource, and other computers in the network use those resources. The computer that shares the resource is the server, and the computers that share the resource are the clients. All the resources of the network are stored on the server so the resources can be managed from the center. Security is ensured as all u...

What is cloud computing? How does cloud computing work?

Cloud Computing  Using different computing resources, such as hardware and software, through a computer network system is called cloud computing. The method used to access some global facilities by connecting to the Internet is called cloud computing. Through this, the remote user gets the data, software and results of the processing through the computer. Cloud computing services started in 2005. Amazon.com's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) was the first to offer this service. Although the concept of cloud computing is not new. The concept of central computing was introduced in the sixties. According to that idea, big companies plan to install a mega computer in every city. City dwellers will receive computer services through lines like electric or dish lines. The project did not materialize due to network speed limitations. The concept of grid computing in the 1990s is also basically a concept of cloud computing.

What are network devices? Introduction to networking devices?

Network Devices Modem :  The modem consists of Modulator Mo and Demodulator Dem Voice is an important and widely used electronic device used in computer communication systems. The computer is connected to the telephone line through a modem. As a result, it is possible to send data from a computer to any part of the world through a modem and phone line. In this case, the receiving computer must also be connected to the phone line through a modem.  The modem's function is to convert a digital signal to an analogue or modulate and Digitalize or demodulate analogue signals. Analogue signals can flow through normal telephone lines, but computers use digital signals. Therefore, the digital signal provided by the computer has to be converted into an analogue signal to be sent over the telephone line. And the work of converting this digital signal into an analogue signal is done by the modem connected to the sending computer. The modem sends the converted signal to the receiver over t...

What is the digital divide? How does the digital divide create inequality?

 | Digital Divide The development of information and communication technology has divided people around the world into two groups in terms of the convenience of its use. One group is benefiting from the use of modern information and communication technology and the other group is not.

What is genetic engineering?

Genetic Engineering The process by which the acquired knowledge of heredity is used for human welfare is basically called genetic engineering. Genetic engineering is a process in which parts of DNA or RNA that protect the offspring are removed or inserted into cells. Sometimes it is also called genetic modification. It is a branch of biochemistry in which life is defined at the molecular level. The journey of genetic engineering began with the discovery of recombinant DNA technology by Paul Berg in 1972. The term "genetic engineering" was first used in 1951 by Jack Williamson in his science fiction novel Dragon's Island. A year before that, Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase confirmed that DNA is the carrier of heredity. Some other branches of biotechnology like microbiology, biochemistry, biostatistics, tissue culture like genetic engineering is also a branch. Genetic engineering involves removing DNA carrying a specific gene from an organism and transferring it to a differ...
