Lecture Outline
• Data Communication and Networks
• Data and its Types (Text, Audio, Video, Sensor’s data, Numeric Data)
• Data Representation
• Communication and its Components (Sender, Receiver, Medium, Data
Protocol)
• Morse and Braille Code
Data and its Types
• Data and Its Significance:
• Data is the foundation of communication and networks.
• Understanding the types of data is essential for effective communication.
• Types of Data:
• Text: Written or typed information.
• Audio: Sound or spoken words.
• Video: Moving visual images.
• Sensor's Data: Information collected from various sensors.
• Numeric Data: Quantitative values or numerical information.
Data Representation
• Importance of Data Representation:
• Data must be represented in a format suitable for transmission and storage.
• Different types of data require distinct representation methods.
• Methods of Data Representation:
• Binary representation for computers.
• Compression techniques for efficient data storage and transmission.
Communication and its Components
• Definition of Communication:
• Communication involves the exchange of data between entities.
• Components of Communication:
• Sender: Initiates the communication process.
• Receiver: Receives and interprets the transmitted data.
• Medium: The channel through which data travels.
• Data Protocol: Set rules and conventions governing data transmission.
Activity
Understand various types of data communication protocols and their
significance in data exchange.

For each protocol, write a short description on your paper, explaining


what it stands for , and its practical applications.
Morse and Braille Code
• Morse Code:
• Morse code is a method of encoding text characters using sequences of dots
and dashes.
• Historically used in telegraphy, it remains relevant in certain communication
contexts.
• Braille Code:
• Braille is a tactile writing system for the visually impaired.
• It uses raised dots to represent letters, numbers, and symbols.
Morse Code Example
• The length of a dot is one unit.
• A dash is three units.
• The space between parts of the same
letter is one unit.
• The space between letters is three units.
• The space between words is seven units.
Activity
Write your full name with Morse Code and calculate its units.
Braille Alphabet Example
Applications in Modern Communication
• Morse Code in Modern Contexts:
• Morse code is still used in aviation, military, and emergency communication.
• Its simplicity makes it valuable in situations where clarity is crucial.
• Importance of Braille Code:
• Braille code remains a vital tool for visually impaired individuals in reading
and writing.
• Advances in technology integrate Braille displays for digital content
accessibility.
Conclusion
• Data communication and networks are fundamental to modern
society.
• Understanding data types, representation, communication
components, and codes contributes to effective information
exchange and accessibility.
