Computers, Cars & Technology History is a FactBurst quiz in Technology.
From Firefox and DNS to RAID storage, SSH, Unix and computer security, these twenty technology questions mix technical concepts with the people who developed them. You'll be asked about programming languages, hardware-backed security, byte order, consensus algorithms and older monitor connectors. Automotive design and manufacturers also feature. Think about a term's actual function and origins rather than relying on familiar initials, and separate computer architecture questions from questions about brands.
A few questions to get the conversation started:
1. Which company created the Firefox web browser?
2. Which internet protocol translates domain names into numerical IP addresses?
3. What does SSH stand for?
