What technologies?
What do you understand by Information and Communication Technologies?

ICT refers to technologies that provide access to information through telecommunications. It is similar to Information Technology (IT), but focuses primarily on communication technologies. This includes the Internet, wireless networks, cell phones, and other communication mediums.

IN WHICH INDUSTRIES IS ICT USED?

Number Systems
Data Representation refers to the form in which data is stored, processed, and transmitted.
Four number systems:
Decimal (10)
Binary (2)
Octal (8)
Hexadecimal (16)

General information
A piece of data, such as an alphabet letter, may be represented using a sequence of binary digits- 0's and 1's. There are several types of codes used to represent character data. For example, using extended ASCII (America Standard Code for Information Interchange) code, the alphabet letter "a" can be represented using a series of eight binary digits, "01100001." Each binary digit is called a bit. And, eight bits is one byte.
