4.What is that concept of segmenting Internet known as ?

Internet is a broad thing and anything would appear while searching. A concept of segmenting the Internet has arose recently. we determine our areas and the we get things from that areas only.

Ans: Splinternet ,It is also called Cyber-balkanisation or Internet balkanisation.

● Internet as splintering and dividing due to various factors, such as technology, commerce, politics, nationalism, religion, and interests. “Powerful forces are threatening to balkanise it”, writes the Economist weekly, and it may soon splinter along geographic and commercial boundaries. Countries such as China have erected what is termed a “Great Firewall”, for political reasons, while other nations, such as the US and Australia, discuss plans to create a similar firewall to block child pornography or weapon making instructions

5.In the context of 4G wireless technology, expand LTE?

Ans:Long Term Evolution

6.In the context of 4G wireless technology, expand VOLTE ?

Ans:Voice Over Long Term Evolution

7. What is NGN in the context of Network?  Expand NGN ?

Ans: Next Generation Network

A Next Generation Network (NGN for short) is a telecommunications packe tbased network capable of handling data, voice/audio, and multimedia traffic, encapsulating all of it in data packet form.

The next-generation network (NGN) is a body of key architectural changes in telecommunication core and access networks. The general idea behind the NGN is that one network transports all information and services (voice, data, and all sorts of media such as video) by encapsulating these into IP packets, similar to those used on the Internet. NGNs are commonly built around the Internet Protocol, and therefore the term all IP is also sometimes used to describe the transformation of formerly telephone-centric networks toward NGN.

NGN is a different concept from Future Internet, which is more focused on the evolution of Internet in terms of the variety and interactions of services offered.

8.What Did Users Of The First Automatic Teller Machine Access The Machine With?

Ans: Radioactive Paper

● Today they’re ubiquitous: automatic teller machines (ATMs) that dispense cash to you with the swipe of a bank card and the input of your personal identification number (PIN). Stroll back through history a scant fifty years or so, however, and both inventors and banks alike were wrangling with how to implement the now commonplace technology.

● While ATMs and the bank cards we use in them are everywhere now, when the original ATM was invented by British inventor John Shepherd-Barron back in the 1960s, there was one critical missing component: the cards. When you create an automatic teller in an age without bank cards, how do you verify the users are who they say they are? Radioactive paper, naturally

9.Name this Denial-Of-Service ?

This is a specific form of denial-of-service attack in which a large volume of ICMP packets with the victim’s spoofed IP address swapped in place of the senders IP address are broadcast over a computer network using one of the IP broadcast addresses available on that network

Ans: Smurf Attack

● A smurf attack is a type of denial of service attack in which a system is flooded with spoofed ping messages. This creates high computer network traffic on the victim’s network, which often renders it unresponsive.

● Smurfing takes certain well-known facts about Internet Protocol and Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) into account. ICMP is used by network administrators to exchange information about network state, and can also be used to ping other nodes to determine their operational status. The smurf program sends a spoofed network packet that contains an ICMP ping. The resulting echo responses to the ping message are directed toward the victim’s IP address. Large number of pings and the resulting echoes can make the network unusable for real traffic.

10.What Was The First Modern Web Search Engine?

Ans: WebCrawler

● The three core components of modern web search engines–crawling the web for new sites, indexing the results, and providing an interface for users to search that index–are so firmly embedded in the internet user experience that we now simply take them for granted.

11.What Popular Computer Game Was Secretly Intended To Increase Mouse Proficiency?

Ans: Solitaire

● Microsoft was concerned that most people, unfamiliar with graphic user interfaces, would find using Windows intimidating and be off put by the mouse. Solitaire was selected because the majority of people already knew how to play it and playing the game in a virtual space required extensive use of the mouse to click, drag, and drop the playing cards. In essence, the game came bundled with Windows to trick users into logging a lot of time playing with the mouse (becoming comfortable with it in the process).

12.Which company is creating ‘Everykey,’ a thumbnail-sized gadget that can replace a password, logging you into websites, unlocking your phone, and even opening your digital door locks?

Ans:McAfee

13.What are we talking about?

● It is the central part of an operating system. It manages the tasks of the computer and the hardware – most notably memory and CPU time. What are we talking about?

Ans:Kernel

14.What are we talking about?

This innovation in Cricket Game was conceived by Bronte EcKermann, an Australian mechanical industrial designer, and created by South Australian manufacturer Zing International.

Ans: LED Stumps or Zing Wicket System in Cricket Game

● With conventional bails, it is difficult for the umpire to tell when the bail is ‘completely dislodged’. A bail is only ‘completely dislodged’ from a wicket when BOTH spigots have separated from their stump grooves. Low voltage batteries are incorporated in each of the bails and stumps. A microprocessor in each bail detects when BOTH spigots are dislodged from the stump grooves. The wickets come fitted with LED. The bails also have an in-built sensor than can determine if a wicket is broken, in just 1/1000th of a second. They are made of composite plastic and the LEDs glimmer at the slightest impact with the ball. The stumps and bails illuminate when dislodged. When the wicket is broken, the bails flash bright red LED light. Even if a wicket keeper makes a stumping, the lights flash. It helps the umpires to come up with correct decisions especially during close stumping and run-outs.
