1. a) Two tasks performed by a network server apart from the storage of users' files is gives information to all of the other computers in the company. Also, a network server can send and receive emails.
b) One advantage of schools providing their students with USB drives is that they know the students have the right amount of storage. A disadvantage is that if a student loses the usb the school will have to replace them.
c) Two precautions that a student should take when using USB drives for saving important work would be that they need to make sure that they do not take out the USB drive to quickly because the information won't save. Also, they should make sure not to break the USB.
4. a) i) The software that has provided this wizard is database
ii) one other task that may be performed by this wizard is query’s

b) Two other IT methods that can help them to use the application software successfully are going onto the internet and looking up a tutorial to help them understand. Also, databases.

c) It is the responsibility of the company, rather than the employee, to pay for the training because the company is the one who wants these people to train and the employees are only told what to do making it so that the company is the one in charge to pay for the training. If, for an instance, employees want to learn additional skills to improve their work and potentially earn a raise the company should not pay for this. The company shouldn't pay for this because this is their own personal training for more money that they want/need which is not up to the company. The employee should pay for their own training if they want a raise because it is the money they are raising for themselves not the company.

5. a) i) terabyte- A terabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information.
ii) GPS, which stands for Global Positioning System, is a radio navigation system that allows land, sea, and airborne users to determine their exact location, velocity, and time 24 hours a day, in all weather conditions, anywhere in the world
b) The steps involved in capturing and storing the satellite image data that will be used to create the maps in google earth are that the camera needs to be involved in order to take the picture. Then all of the pictures must be uploaded to the software and then shared.
c) GPS technology and mapping software work together to allow the operator to find the way to a destination, by working together like on a mobile phone by have the information installed into the phone. The phone will need internet service of course but the satellite can pick up the phone signal and that is how they work together.
d) To a great extent is this decision to alter the maps at users' requests acceptable because people may feel uncomfortable with their houses on the internet and on other peoples phones. This is an issue of security for them because viewing houses is acceptable. If the decision to alter the maps at users requests becomes acceptable this would allow more people to use google maps because they will feel comfortable. Also, this may be a disadvantage because people will see blurred out thing and not know the actual directions.
