Li-Fi vs Wi-Fi: A Battle of Light and Waves

Li-Fi vs Wi-Fi: A Battle of Light and Waves Li-fi is a light fidelity device that supports only the infrared and other lighting systems to transfer the data to the device which is used to receive from the sender device. Wifi is a wireless fidelity device that supports the radio waves to transfer the data to the wifi device which is used to receive the wifi signals at the limited ranges due to the device version capacity. Introduction to the computer system and computer applications related topics are listed following below here: Li-Fi vs Wi-Fi: A Battle of Light and Waves Let’s discuss the computer system related topic and questions above listed and their answers are following below here: Li-Fi vs Wi-Fi: A Battle of Light and Waves There are some points on the computer system and data communication related to the topic of “Li-Fi vs Wi-Fi: A Battle of Light and Waves” following below here: Lifi based data communication system:- Li-Fi is a light based signal data transmission ...

What do you understand by software? Name various categories of them, giving at least one example for each.

What do you understand by software? Name various categories of them, giving at least one example for each.

Software

Software is a group programs that makes a system to provide a desire output. Basically the software also combination of program, logic, functions, header files, system file package, database, variables and output results.

There are three categories of the software following below.

1. System software or Operating system

2. Application Software

3. Utility software

this image shows the software basically three types are utility software, system software and application software.


1. System software or operating system

System software makes interfaces between hardware and user where user uses the hardware easily and can operates properly. It provides an environment to run the application software and their development.

Example: Windows operating system, MAC OS, IOS, Android, Symbian etc.

2. Application software

Application software is software that makes for specific task and provides the desire output. It runs in operating system.

Example: Video player, MS office, MS paint etc.

3. Utility software

Utility software is work behind the operating system that controls the security, Manage firewall. This type of software is care about your computer.

Example: Back-up software, disk tool, Anti-virus software.


Can an operating system provide an environment for application software?


Yes, it is true that the Operating system provides an environment to the application software to install and run into their given environment for application software.

The application software provides a specific problem of solution that the user can perform some step on the application software and get the output as a solution from the application software.

The operating system also provides a supporting environment of saving the file of application as a product to the storage device to use it to store at specific memory address.

The file has also an extension given by the application software to access only from the application, not the operating system able to open or run the file.

For example:- a file has a 'filename.ghj' from the application software that provides the extension of (.ghj) and the filename is a name of file that given by the end user on the application software to find and retrieve the file from the storage device on the computer.

Types of Local Storage in Computer Systems

Describe the different types of local storage of computer systems? The local storage device is a type of memory for the user to keep a database file for a long time to access again and stored as a distributed offline database on the local storage. The local storage device can be pendrive, compact discs, dvd, floppy drive, HDD, SSD, memory card etc. The local storage needs to keep the valuable database file for the user to provide the lost database if suddenly deleted or formatted the whole drive of the computer system. Local storage in computer systems refers to devices or media that store data directly connected to the computer. There are several types, including Hard Disk Drives (HDDs), which use spinning disks and magnetic heads to store data; Solid-State Drives (SSDs), which store data in flash memory, offering faster access times and lower power consumption; and Hybrid drives, which combine elements of both. Other forms of local storage include USB flash drives, SD cards, and CDs/...

Discuss the data replication on the distributed database system?

Discuss the data replication on the distributed database system? The data replica is a term that refers to the data replication means the copy of data into the servers distributed to access the copy of data. The data replication in a distributed database system is a term that provides the benefits for the user to easily access the data from the nearby server provided for the client user from the website. The data can be easily accessible from the server and provide the fast speed with reduces the latency of the data transfer to the client server such as:- if the user access the data from their smartphone device then the data will be fast to load because the nearby server provide the data replicated or copied of data to the user. Data replication in a distributed database system involves creating and maintaining multiple copies of data across different nodes or locations to enhance availability, reliability, and performance. It ensures that users can access data even if a node fails, re...
