  1970s

  1950s

  1990s

  1930s

 2. What is computer memory?

  an index of files

  a song from a musical

  data remembered by the human user

  stored data for immediate use

 3. Computer memory today normally uses:

  random access memory

  relays

  delay line memory

  mechanical counters

 4. In the stored program concept, what two things are stored in computer memory?

  code and metacode

  headers and footers

  instructions and data

  primary and secondary memory

 5. Instructions can be read and written to the memory by the processor.

  FALSE

  TRUE

 6. The processor can execute instructions but it cannot read and write data in the memory.

  FALSE

  TRUE

 7. Instructions in the memory are:

  in Javascript

  in algebra

  in machine code

  in imaginary numbers

 8. What is the bus?

  a form of public transport

  the system that transfers data between components of a computer

  the primary memory

  the processing unit of the computer

 9. How are instructions fetched?

  concurrent (at the same time)

  serially (one after the other)

  ambivalently (in no order)

  retroactively (in reverse order)

 10. What is one benefit of stored program architecture?

  faster access to data

  programs can be changed easily to perform different tasks

  more memory is available to process instructions

  power consumption is reduced
