    General Thoughts: Information Processes and Technology

    Theses questions are horribly vague as actual transmission speeds really depend on the device, so it could possibly be either. I myself went its Bluetooth as that is more commonly used for data transmission between phones, so I was like hey, there has to be some reason why it's used more...

    General Thoughts: Information Processes and Technology

    Good point about the lack of a modem. Didn't pick up on that. But most of the time I see modem as the last device before connecting to the internet and never as a central node of a network.

    Multiple choice help

    Thanks for the detailed responses:smile: Yep, I understand now what C meant I had eliminated B and D, but I was thinking of MS Access's design view which is basically a data dictionary which is data describing data. So I ended up picking A. So are user views different from those views in...
