Computer networks revolve around data; thus, comprehending network functionality requires an understanding of data. This article provides a step-by-step explanation of what is data in computer networks, starting with the difference between data and information. It then demonstrates how computers store data as bits, how bits are organized into bytes, and how encoding techniques enable the digital representation of letters, numbers, symbols, pictures, audio, and video.
Communication vs telecommunications vs data communication is an important ICT topic because these terms are often used together, but they do not mean exactly the same thing. Communication is the broadest concept; telecommunications involves technology-based signal transmission, and data communication specifically refers to digital binary data exchanged between computing devices.
Computer networks are the most important pillar of “information and communications technologies,” i.e., ICT domain. ICT refers to any digital technology used to manage information and facilitate communication, such as hardware, software, networks, and the Internet. It combines computation and telecommunications to improve data storage, transport, and processing
