for information on the World Wide Web.
A programming language is a formal language that specifies a set of 
instructions that can be used to produce various kinds of output. 
Programming languages generally consist of instructions for a computer. 
Programming Language /  it may use natural language elements, be easier to use, or may 
7
/ High level language automate (or even hide entirely) significant areas of computing systems 
(e.g. memory management), making the process of developing a 
program simpler and more understandable relative to a lower-level 
language.
In computing, a visual programming language (VPL) is 
any programming language that lets users create programs by

manipulating program elements graphically  rather than by specifying 
them textually .

A blockchain,[1][2][3] originally block chain,[4][5] is a continuously growing 
list of records, called blocks , which are linked and secured 
using cryptography.[1][6] Each block typically contains a cryptographic 
9 Blockchain
hash of the previous block,[6] a timestamp and transaction data.[7] By 
design, a blockchain is inherently resistant to modification of the data. It 
is "an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two 
parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way".

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and worldwide payment system.[10]:3 It is the 
first decentralized digital currency, as the system works without a central 
bank or single administrator.[10]:1[11] The network is peer-to-peer and 
transactions take place between users directly, without an 
10 Bitcoin
intermediary.[10]:4 These transactions are verified by 
network nodes through the use of cryptography and recorded in a 
public distributed ledger called a blockchain.As of February 2015, over 
100,000 merchants and vendors accepted bitcoin as payment.

Flash memory is an electronic (solid-state) non-volatile computer 
11 Flash memory
storage medium that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed.
Memory Stick is a proprietary removable flash memory card format created by
Sony. Memory stick may also be used informally to refer to: Memory cards in
12 Memory stick
general; electronic flash memory data storage devices used for storing data,
typically in portable devices

A compiler is computer software that transforms computer code written 
in one programming language (the source language) into another 
programming language (the target language). Compilers are a type 
of translator that support digital devices, primarily computers. The 
16 Compilers
name compiler  is primarily used for programs that translate source 
codefrom a high-level programming language to a lower level 
language (e.g., assembly language, object code, or machine code) to 
create an executable program.
Interpretation or interpreting is a translational activity in which one

21 Optic fiber
transmit light between the two ends of the fiber and find wide usage 
in fiber-optic communications, where they permit transmission over 
longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data rates) than wire cables.
