Creative Development
What advantage does using abstraction confer when designing algorithms?
Eliminates any need for testing because each abstracted part is assumed error-free.
Directly translates algorithmic solutions into multiple programming languages automatically.
Simplifies problem-solving by breaking down processes into manageable parts.
Guarantees that all possible errors in logic will be identified during design phase.
Why would you use a spreadsheet program?
To organize data in tables and perform calculations.
To browse different websites on the internet.
To compose and send emails to friends and colleagues.
To develop complex interactive software applications.
What is a common method to verify identity before allowing access to an online account?
A pop-up ad offering free products.
Running an internet speed test on your network connection.
Checking if your computer has anti-virus software installed.
Security questions about personal info that only the user should know.
What does it mean for software to be event-driven?
It doesn't require program inputs
It relies on complex algorithms
It responds to events in order to run
It executes without any user interaction
Which practice helps maintain the confidentiality of sensitive information during digital communication?
Encryption of messages.
Posting information publicly online.
Using open Wi-Fi networks.
Sharing passwords with friends.
Why might an object-oriented programming (OOP) language be preferred when designing complex software systems with reusable components?
OOP languages facilitate encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism which aid in creating modular and reusable code structures.
They inherently produce faster executing code due to built-in optimization techniques.
They remove the need for any form of manual memory management by the programmer.
OOP languages exclusively support concurrent execution necessary for complex systems.
What role do parameters play within an algorithm?
They prevent external factors such as network latency from affecting the algorithm's performance.
They allow an algorithm to handle different inputs and conditions when it's run.
They guarantee that an algorithm will execute with no errors regardless of parameters used.
They ensure that the algorithm can be compiled into machine code by any compiler.

When considering the ethical implications of implementing a new facial recognition system at an airport, which factor is most important to evaluate in terms of potential privacy concerns?
The extent to which personal data is stored and who has access to it.
The speed at which the system can process and match faces in a crowd.
The accuracy rate of the system in identifying individuals from different ethnicities.
The cost-effectiveness of the system compared to traditional security measures.
In which way do algorithms contribute to software development?
They determine the aesthetic aspects such as colors and fonts used in application interfaces.
They provide structured solutions that guide program design and implementation phases.
They serve as legal documentation for copyright purposes during program distribution.
They dictate communication protocols between different software applications only.
What societal impact could arise from the deployment of AI-driven facial recognition systems at international borders?
Enhanced communication tools allowing border agents better interaction with foreign travelers
Decreased need for manual labor resulting in job displacement within border security agencies
Potential infringement on privacy rights due to ubiquitous surveillance capabilities raising ethical concerns
Increased efficiency leading to shorter wait times at immigration checkpoints improving traveler satisfaction
