PREPARED BY
MR. MOHAMED GAD
THE NATURE OF TECHNOLOGY

• Digital Data :
How Computer Save our data? How save data like text , images and audio
A Computer stores data in digital files only contains the chracters Zero and
One .
Video and animation are created by showing a series of still images very quickly.
STORING DATA

• Humans Store Data –lots of data , we need to store data so that we can use it
again when we need it .
• Early people stored data about important events by painting image on a walls
or cave walls and by carving images .
WHAT IS DIGITAL DATA ?

• When you communicate in English , you use letters and numbers .we
use 26 letters and 10 digits from 0 to 9 also we use punctuation
characters such as the comma and full stop so you can make
combination with these character to make words and sentences .
• Computers Stores data using only digits , this data called digital data.
• The computer uses only 2 digits (0 and 1)every file stored on a
computer is made up of Zeros and Ones .
BINARY NUMBERS :

• We use math to solve day-to-day problems , when we us math we use


decimal numbers system ( Decimal system has 10 differen digits from
0 to 9 )
• The number system that the computer uses is called Binary system , It
has only 2 digits ( 0 , 1)
Decimal Binary
1 1
8 1000
18 10010
100 1100100
STORING TEXT
• A computer uses codes to store text .
• To a computer the word Hello Looks like this 01001000 01100101 01101100
01101100 01101111
• Each set of eight digits is a code for a letter .
• Try using this table to program a robot to find its way through the maze

Action Code
One step left 00
One step right 01
One step up 10
One step down 11
WHY COMPUTER USE DIGITAL DATA?

• Computer are powered by microprocessor , the microprocessor is the brain of


a computer .
• A microprocessor is called a digital device because it can only understand the
two switch positions ON and OFF .
• The On and Off can be shown as 1 and 0 in binary .
READING BINARY NUMBER

• We learned That a computer must store every thing it processes as


digital data .
• The decimal number system uses 10 digits (0 to 9) the value of each
column in a decimal number is 10 times greater than the previous
column .
• Another name for decimal system is Base 10 .
1000s 100s 10s Units
2 5 4 3
• Binary number system uses two digits (0 and 1 )
• Another name for binary system is Base 2
• The value of each column in binary number is 2 times greater than the
previous column .
HOW TO READ BINARY NUMBERS

• You can use your knowledge of base 2 to read binary numbers , the
easiest way to understand a binary number is to convert the binary
number into a decimal number.
• First we draw a table like given the ones in the example .
• Second in the first row of the table write the value of each column ,
starting with units from right and column and multiply by 2 each time
8s 4s 2s units
you move from right
• Write the number you want to convert in the second row of your table .
• Multiply each digit in the number you want to convert by the column value :
1x8=8 1x4=4 0 x2=0 1 x 1 =1
• Add the result together , the total is the value of binary as decimal number

8+4+0+1 =13
1101 in binary is 13 in decimal

8s 4s 2s Units
1 1 0 1
