CompTia Vocab Chapter 11

Job Shadowing

• A computing concept that describes the network of physical devices and everyday devices (including refrigerators, thermostats, streetlights, and environmental tracking systems) that communicate with the internet.

• A business approach in which an organization identifies and automates as many tasks as possible in order to create higher efficiency and lower operational costs.

• Spending time observing a professional at work, learning what they do and getting a better feel for whether a particular career is something you'd like to pursue.

• The process of analyzing historical medical data to predict what might happen to a person's health in the future. This allows doctors to recommend preventative measures for each patient.

Internship

• A cloud network that's built on infrastructure dispersed throughout a large geographical area, allowing network devices to run closer to the source, or "on the edge."

• A short-term employment opportunity at an organization, typically accepted during the beginning of a person's career to gain job experience without pay.

• A record-keeping technology that was originally developed with the cryptocurrency Bitcoin. It contains two parts that store information about a transaction or event: the block of digital information (the "block") and a public database (the "chain").

Hyper-Automation

• A business approach in which an organization identifies and automates as many tasks as possible in order to create higher efficiency and lower operational costs.

• A computing concept that describes the network of physical devices and everyday devices (including refrigerators, thermostats, streetlights, and environmental tracking systems) that communicate with the internet.

• A record-keeping technology that was originally developed with the cryptocurrency Bitcoin. It contains two parts that store information about a transaction or event: the block of digital information (the "block") and a public database (the "chain").

• Sometimes known as XR, a broad term for technology that combines the real world with the virtual world. In addition to gaming applications, this technology is used for practical applications such as virtual tours of historic landmarks. XR is a superset of several other fields, including Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR).

Predictive Healthcare

• A record-keeping technology that was originally developed with the cryptocurrency Bitcoin. It contains two parts that store information about a transaction or event: the block of digital information (the "block") and a public database (the "chain").

• The process of analyzing historical medical data to predict what might happen to a person's health in the future. This allows doctors to recommend preventative measures for each patient.

• A cloud network that's built on infrastructure dispersed throughout a large geographical area, allowing network devices to run closer to the source, or "on the edge."

• Moving processes closer to the computers or devices themselves and away from the centralized cloud, thus making them more efficient with greater speed, privacy, and bandwidth.

Edge Computing

• Moving processes closer to the computers or devices themselves and away from the centralized cloud, thus making them more efficient with greater speed, privacy, and bandwidth.

• A short-term employment opportunity at an organization, typically accepted during the beginning of a person's career to gain job experience without pay.

• A business approach in which an organization identifies and automates as many tasks as possible in order to create higher efficiency and lower operational costs.

• Larger institutions that offer a greater variety of majors and minors. Students typically graduate with a four or five year bachelor's degree, which can be either a liberal arts degree or a career-specific program like nursing, accounting, or computer science.

Distributed Cloud

• A cloud network that's built on infrastructure dispersed throughout a large geographical area, allowing network devices to run closer to the source, or "on the edge."

• An assessment program that provides evidence of the technical skills and aptitude necessary to perform a job in information technology. Common IT certifications include entry-level, networking, databases, cybersecurity, and project management.

• Sometimes known as XR, a broad term for technology that combines the real world with the virtual world. In addition to gaming applications, this technology is used for practical applications such as virtual tours of historic landmarks. XR is a superset of several other fields, including Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR).

• Formerly known as a vocational or trade school, an educational institution with programs that are dedicated to help students prepare for specific careers such as automotive technology, culinary arts, and information technology. These programs usually take 1-2 years to complete.

Extended Reality

• Colleges that offer two-year associate degrees which typically include courses in general studies with a few career-specific majors and classes. After graduation, many students go on to receive their bachelor's degree at a four-year college or university.

• Overlays digital objects (information, graphics, sounds) on the real world, allowing the user to experience the relationship between digital and physical worlds.

• A cloud network that's built on infrastructure dispersed throughout a large geographical area, allowing network devices to run closer to the source, or "on the edge."

• takes the user out of their real-world environment and into a virtual environment, typically using a headset for viewing coupled with a hand-held controller to navigate the virtual space and experience.

Internet of Things

• A financial statement that reports a company's assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity. The balance sheet is one of the three (income statement and statement of cash flows being the other two) core financial statements used to evaluate a business.

• A common set of accounting principles, standards, and procedures issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).
