can someone pleeeeease explain to me the differences between batch processing, online processing and
real-time processing.


Batch : Data collected over a period of time, processed at one go. Examples include producing utility bills.
Online : Contacts the server computer, updated real time. Examples include booking tickets.
Real time : Responds to input straightaway. Examples include monitoring a patient's condition at a hospital.
We can learn from the past .. But those days are gone .. We can look for the future .. But there may not be one ...

Online = / = instantaneously, whereas real time processing is.

Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

I think a lot .. magnetic tape is more like a cassette which hav large volumes of data .. it usually is used as a 'back up' by companies which is conducted overnight ..

magnetic stripe is the thin black stripe found behind ur dad's credit card ;) it contains very small amount of data .. lik bank account number or account details .. i never has the amount of ur dad's bank balance .. so ur dad doesnt need to worry .. lol jus a joke .. dont confuse urself much ok ?? ;) do well best of luck .. =)

Thanks! lets jst say im nt offended...  By the way are you studying for EFL aswell?

Firewall is a piece of hardware which prevents unauthorised access to a computer system or a computer network .. it 'filters' data passing through it and sends in only the 'good' data .. hacking can be preventing by using a firewall ..   
Hardware O.O The filtering bit is inaccurate. Prevents unauthorised access to a computer network would suffice in gaining you 3 / 3.

Information found online can be opinionstic versus factual.
