Accepted Answer

The type of messages you can send is determined by the services offered by the mobile service provider. Different service providers offer different messaging services such as SMS, MMS, or messaging apps. The type of phone and the embedded computer within the phone may affect the user experience and functionality, but they do not determine the type of messages that can be sent. Geographical location may affect the availability and strength of network signal, but it does not determine the type of messages that can be sent.

Question 17

Which of the following is your library using because it costs less, is easier to maintain, and uses less power than desktop computers?
A)ultrabook
B)tablet
C)thin client
D)mainframe

Accepted Answer

Thin clients are a cost-effective, low-maintenance, and energy-efficient alternative to desktop computers. They rely on a central server for processing power and storage, which reduces the need for individual machines with their own hardware and software configurations. Tablets and ultrabooks may also be cost-effective and portable, but they may not be as well-suited to the demands of a library setting, such as heavy use and frequent updates. Mainframes are powerful, but expensive and complex to manage, and may not be necessary for the library's needs.

Which of the following do you need to verify that you are the holder of the bank card at your local bank branch?
A)skimmer

To verify that you are the holder of the bank card, the bank will typically ask for your PIN, which is a personal identification number known only to the cardholder. The other options listed are not used to verify card ownership: a skimmer is a device used to steal card information, an account code is typically used for logging in to online banking or accessing account information, and a transaction ID is a unique identifier for a single transaction.
