True or False:
Write TRUE if the given statement is a fact, if not underlined the
word(s) that make the statement incorrect and write the correct word(s)
on the space provided.

1. _______________________A super machine is an automatic, high speed,

digital electronic data processing machine used for performing
program instructions to produce the desired output at high speed
according to programmed instruction.

2. _______________________Computer programs are set of instructions that

tell the computer what to do, when to do it, how to do it, and where to
do it.

3. _______________________Today’s computers may run day in and day out

for years without failure.

4. _______________________The user only needs to feed all the instructions

to the computer at the start; afterwards, it can proceed without any
need for human intervention.
5. _______________________Computer failures do not occur – and if they
occur in a critical system, such as hospital expert system, lives may be
endangered.

6. _______________________Computers may pose a threat to personal

privacy, because firms can so easily accumulate a detailed picture of
an individual’s buying habits.
7. _______________________Inside the system unit, operation occurs
through electronic circuits.

8. _______________________Computers cannot process large volume of data

and generate error-free results, provided the data is entered correctly
and the programs work properly.

9. _______________________Most computers today have the capability of

communicating with other machines, such as printers.

10. _______________________A very slow computer can perform the

addition of 100 million pairs of ten-digit numbers in a second.
11. _______________________The computer is capable of telling what must
be fed or what must done for the program to operate continuously.
12. _______________________Computer literacy also means recognizing
only the positive consequences of computers in our society.

13. _______________________Computers do not ease human daily activities

like brewing coffees, printing our newspaper, and writing our letters
and paying our bills.

14. _______________________Many computers cannot store erroneous

amounts of data and make this data available for processing any time
it is needed.

15. _______________________Computers can only process jobs expressed

in a finite number of steps leading to a precisely defined goal.

16. _______________________There are machines that have been promoted

at various times as the first electronic computers. These machines
used electronic switches, in the form of integrated circuits, instead of
electromechanical relays.

17. _______________________The earliest attempt to build an electronic

computer was made by John Vincent Stroganoff, and Clifford Berry
State, in 1937.

18. _______________________A second early electronic machine was

Colossus, designed by Thomas Edison for the British military in 1943.

19. _______________________Electronic Numerical Integrator and

Computer was built by J. Presper Eckert and John V. Mauchly at the
University of Pennsylvania.

20. _______________________Through the uses of a memory that was

large enough to hold both instructions and data, and using the
program stored in memory to control the order of arithmetic
operations, EDVAC was able to run orders of magnitude faster than
ENIAC.

21. _______________________UNIVAC is the first commercially available

computer.

22. _______________________The transistor is similar to vacuum tubes in

such a way that both have on and off switches.

23. _______________________EDVAC is the predecessor of ENIAC.

24. _______________________IBM 1401 is known as the MODERN V of the

computer business.
25. _______________________The second generation saw several important
developments at all levels of computer system design, from the
technology used to build the basic circuits to the programming
languages used to write scientific applications.
