3. Introduction
In the modern times, Communication and
Technology are very closely related.
It has become impossible for institutions to run
without the modern technology.
Telephone, Television and Internet have become
an integral part of day to day life.

4. Communication Technology
The sophisticated technologies that can transfer
any amount of information onto any distance in
no time, including live video communication.

5. Communication Technology
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is an
extended term for information technology (IT) which
stresses the role of unified communications and the
integration of telecommunications (telephone lines and
wireless signals), computers as well as necessary
enterprise software, middleware, storage, and audio-
visual systems, which enable users to access, store,
transmit, and manipulate information.

Technology in Communication

7. Telecommunications
Telecommunications involves the use of
electrical devices such as the telegraph,
telephone, and teleprinter, as well as the use of
radio and microwave communications, as well as
fiber optics and their associated electronics, plus
the use of the orbiting satellites and the
Internet.

10. Pager
• A pager is a small telecommunications device
that receives (and, in some cases, transmits)
alert signals and/or short messages. This type
of device is convenient for people expecting
telephone calls, but who are not near a
telephone set to make or return calls
immediately.

11. Radio
• It started with the discovery of "radio waves" -
electromagnetic waves that have the capacity
to transmit music, speech, pictures and other
data invisibly through the air.

14. Computer
Computer is any device which aids humans in
performing various kinds of computations or
calculations.

16. The Digital Exchange
Computers are digital devices, and their
functioning is based on mathematical
operations with only two values: zero and one.
The binary numeral system is the most suitable
for this purpose, as it provides the most basic
processing of electrical signals: 1 – signal, 0 – no
signal.

17. The Digital Exchange
In computer hardware, any operation or piece of
information must be translated into machine-
readable code.

18. Bit & Byte
• This mathematical system is the basis of the
units of measurement used in information
technologies:
• Bit – the smallest unit of information, either 0
or 1. Its unit symbol is b or bit.
• Byte – equal to eight bits; its unit symbol is B.

19. Storage Capacity
1 KB = 1024 B; KB kilobyte
1 MB = 1024 KB; MB megabyte
1 GB = 1024 MB; GB gigabyte
1 TB = 1024 GB; TB terabyte
