Question 1

What has made the Google search engine so successful?

Accepted Answer

The Google search engine became so successful because it was one of the first search engines to incorporate page ranking.Not only does it index the web pages it finds according to both keywords and combinations of keywords,it also ranks each page according to the number of pages that link to it,and the number of pages it links to itself.This helped make search results more relevant when compared to search engines relying solely on key words used on web pages.A user could be relatively certain that they would find relevant information within the top results of a Google search.Improved search results for the user,along with continual improvements to its search engine,the development and other web applications,tools,and its Ad Sense product where it sells keywords to the highest bidder has made Google so successful as a search engine and marketing firm.

Question 2

What are the two types of signals used to communicate a message in a network and how are they different? What device converts one type to the other type?

Accepted Answer

The two ways to communicate a message in a network are analog signals and digital signals.An analog signal is represented by a continuous waveform that passes through a communications medium and is used for voice communication.Examples include the telephone handset and other types of speakers that generate analog sound.On the other hand,digital signals are binary waveforms (not continuous)that communicate information as strings of two discrete states: one bit or zero bits (often depicted as strings of zeroes and ones).Computers use these types of signals and use modems to convert digital signals to analog signals.
