1. Which device is called Sillico Sapiens.
- A. Monitor
- B. Monitor
- C. Monitor
- D. Monitor
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
The term "Silico Sapiens" is a nickname for a computer, used as a play on words with Homo sapiens (wise humans) to describe a "silicon-based" intelligent machine. It highlights the silicon components, such as microchips, that form the "brain" of a computer, enabling it to process information.
- "Silico": Refers to silicon, the main element used in the production of microchips and other computer components.
- "Sapiens": Is a Latin word meaning "wise" or "astute," which is the species name for modern humans (Homo sapiens).
- The connection: The term combines these two concepts to humorously describe a computer as a "wise" machine made of silicon, due to its processing capabilities.
