“Technology has forever changed the world we live in. We're online, in one way or another, all day long. Our
phones and computers have become reflections of our personalities, our interests, and our identities. They hold
much that is important to us.”
James Comey

I. Identify the following. Write the correct answer on the space provided
__________1. It is the vector quantity in that it must be specified in both magnitude and
direction.
__________2. It is a sensors operate by making the sensor and the component complete an
electrical circuit.
__________3. These proximity sensors operate by breaking or disturbing an air flow.
__________4. These sensors operate by breaking a light beam which falls onto a light sensitive
device such as a photocell.
__________5. It means sensing through touch.
__________6. It can detect and sometimes discriminate between different sounds
__________7. It is probably the most active field of current research into Robot sensory
feedback
__________8. means capturing an image in real time via a camera of some sort and converting
this image into a form which can be analysed by a computer system.
__________9. It is basically a mechanical device which makes or breaks a circuit.
__________10. This type of switch has a little lever that is toggled back and forth to activate the
switch. By flicking the lever back and forth, you can make or break one or more
connections.
__________11. It is basically little more than just a specialized toggle switch meant to handle a
fair bit of electricity.
__________12. It is one of the oldest forms of switch. It's about as simple as switches come,
consisting of a metal bar with an insulated handle that bridges two (or more
electrical contacts).
__________13. It is activated when you push down on it. These are found everywhere from
elevators, to arcade machines, to game shows, to consumer products. They
share the ease of mounting that we have come to know and love from the
toggle switch.
__________14. It is commonly found as part of many home alarm systems. While it may seem
complicated, it is actually just a switch that is activated by a magnet. In your
home, the way it works is that when people open the window and slide the
magnet away, the switch gets triggered. 
__________15. It is like a pushbutton switch, but has a lever which adds a mechanical
advantage. The benefit to this is that it can be activated with very little force.
