Study Notes
Lesson 2: Communication
- The lesson objective is to compare and contrast different online platforms, sites, and content to best achieve specific class objectives or address situational challenges.
- Communication is the act of transferring information from one place to another. The classic communication system involves an information source, encoder, transmitter, receiver, decoder, storage, retrieval, and an information destination.
- Communication in ICT can be synchronous or asynchronous.
Two Types of Communication in ICT
- Synchronous communication occurs when people send data at the same time.
- Asynchronous communication involves a time lag between sending and receiving data. The recipient takes in the information before responding.
Examples of Synchronous Communication
- Online chat
- Text-based communication
- Audio-based communication
- Video-based communication
- Mobile technology
- Conferences
- Phones
- Satellite
- Television channels
- Video conferencing
Examples of Asynchronous Communication
- Discussion forums
- Blogs
- E-groups
- Wikipedia (knowledge-based)
- Google (search engine)
- Mobile SMS
- MMS
- Podcasting
Importance of the Internet in ICT
- The internet plays a crucial role in ICT, enabling global connectivity.
- It connects computer networks using the TCP/IP protocol suite to link billions of devices worldwide.
- It provides diverse application services, such as email, newsgroups, and the World Wide Web.
Types of Network Connection
- Local Area Network (LAN): A network of devices in one physical location like a building, office, or home. LANs can range from small home networks to large enterprise networks.
- Wide Area Network (WAN): A large network spanning across multiple locations. WANs facilitate communication and information sharing between devices across geographical distances.
Uses of the Internet
- Searching for information
- Accessing email services
- Using commercial online services
- Reading electronic books and publications
- Holding video conferences
- Sharing data and results quickly
- Retrieving files and applications
- Using various online programs
World Wide Web
- The World Wide Web is an information system on the internet that allows documents to connect using hypertext links. This enables users to navigate between documents easily.
