Question 1 of 10
Who is often called the 'father of the computer' for designing the Analytical Engine?
Blaise Pascal
Charles Babbage
Alan Turing
Claude Shannon
Question 2 of 10
Why do computers use the binary (base-2) number system?
Because binary is easier for humans to understand
Because electronic components naturally represent two states: on and off
Because binary was invented before the decimal system
Because binary uses less electricity than other number systems
Question 3 of 10
How many different values can a single byte (8 bits) represent?
8
16
128
256
Question 4 of 10
What advantage does a binary search have over a linear search?
It works on unsorted data
It is dramatically faster for large, sorted datasets
It uses less memory
It can search multiple items at once
Question 5 of 10
What is the purpose of a compiler?
To find and fix bugs in a program
To translate high-level programming language into machine code
To connect a computer to the internet
To store data in the computer's memory
Question 6 of 10
Who developed the first compiler, making programming more accessible to non-specialists?
Ada Lovelace
Alan Turing
Grace Hopper
Tim Berners-Lee
Question 7 of 10
What is the first phase of the Software Development Lifecycle?
Writing code
Testing the software
Planning and requirements analysis
Deploying the software
Question 8 of 10
According to Frederick Brooks in The Mythical Man-Month, what happens when you add more people to a late software project?
The project finishes faster
The project becomes later due to increased communication overhead
The project cost decreases
The quality of the software improves
Question 9 of 10
What does Claude Shannon's information theory establish?
That computers will eventually become conscious
That all information can be measured and represented using binary digits
That the internet should be free for everyone
That programming languages should use English words
Question 10 of 10
C.S. Lewis warned in The Abolition of Man that technology without moral truth becomes dangerous because:
Technology always breaks down eventually
Only scientists understand technology well enough to use it
It becomes a tool for those in power to reshape the world without moral limits
Technology is inherently evil and should be avoided
