Under the hood of a survey application

The purpose of this assignment is to reinforce your understanding of the information flow between a client and server on the Internet and the functional components of a computer. It also gives you practice collaboratively writing a short document.

Now that you have completed the student background survey, write carefully worded answers to these questions:
  1. I used a survey-creation program to enter and format the survey questions. Where was that program while I was creating the survey?
  2. After I finished drafting the survey, where were the survey questions stored?
  3. While you were completing the questionnaire, what program were you running?
  4. Where are your answers now?
  5. While you were completing the survey, where was the survey-completion program and when did it get there?
Be specific and use the words client, server, memory, storage, program and data when appropriate. For example, don't just say something is stored at "Survey Gizmo" -- be more specific.

Use the Google Drive word processor for this assignment. When you have a clearly written answer that you are proud of, print a copy to turn in and send me the link to your answers in an email.

Be sure to set the sharing permission so that anyone with the address can view it, but only your team members can edit it.
