also refer to the message itself, or the field of inquiry studying these transmissions, also known as
communication studies. The precise definition of communication is disputed.

Communication Device- Telecommunications equipment are hardware which are used for the
purposes of telecommunications. Since the 1990s the boundary between telecoms equipment and
IT hardware has become blurred as a result of the growth of the internet and its increasing role in the
transfer of telecoms data.

Compact Disc- the compact disc (CD) is a digital optical disc data storage format that was co-
developed by Philips and Sony to store and play digital audio recordings.

Computer- Computer once meant a person who did computations, but now the term almost
universally refers to automated electronic machinery.

Desktop Computer- A desktop computer (often abbreviated desktop) is a personal computer

designed for regular use at a stationary location on or near a desk due to its size.

Exploitation- the action or fact of treating someone unfairly in order to benefit from their work.

Hard Disk- A hard disk drive (HDD), hard disk, hard drive, or fixed disk, is an electro-mechanical data
storage device that stores and retrieves digital data using.

Information- facts provided or learned about something or someone.

Information Age- The Information Age is the idea that access to and the control of information is
the defining characteristic of this current era in human civilization. The Information Age -- also
called the Computer Age, the Digital Age and the New Media Age -- is coupled tightly with the
advent of personal computers.

Information and Communications Technology (ICT)- Information and communications technology is

an extensional term for information technology that stresses the role of unified communications and
the integration of telecommunications and computers.

Information Technology- Information technology (IT) is the use of any computers, storage,
networking and other physical devices, infrastructure and processes to create, process, store,
secure and exchange all forms of electronic data.

Input Device- In computing, an input device is a piece of equipment used to provide data and
control signals to an information processing system, such as a computer or information
appliance. Examples of input devices include keyboards, mouse, scanners, cameras, joysticks,
and microphones.

Intelligent System- An intelligent system is an advanced computer system that can gather,
analyze and respond to the data it collects from its surrounding environment. It can work and
communicate with other agents, such as users or other computer systems.
Laptop Computer - A laptop is a personal computer that can be easily moved and used in a variety of
locations. Most laptops are designed to have all of the functionality.

Libel- a published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation; a written

defamation.

Mainframe- A mainframe, also known as big iron, is a high-performance computer used for
large-scale, compute-intensive purposes and tasks that require greater availability and security
than smaller-scale machines. Historically, mainframes have been associated with centralized
rather than distributed computing.

Media- In mass communication, media are the communication outlets or tools used to store and
deliver information or data. The term refers to components of the mass media communications
industry, such as print media, publishing, the news media, photography, cinema, broadcasting,
digital media, and advertising.

Minicomputer- minicomputer, computer that was smaller, less expensive, and less powerful than
a mainframe or supercomputer but more expensive and more powerful than a personal
computer. Minicomputers were used for scientific and engineering computations, business
transaction processing, file handling, and database management.

Modem- A modulator-demodulator or modem is a computer hardware device that converts data from
a digital format into a format suitable for an analog transmission medium such as telephone or radio.

Motherboard- A motherboard is the main printed circuit board (PCB) in general-purpose computers
