Intro to IT

What is Information Technology?

The use of digital Technology like , computers and internet to store and process data into useful information.

It’s projected that IT jobs in the US alone will grow 12% in the next decade.
There are thousands of companies around the world searching for IT professionals like you!.

A series of steps that solve specific problems.

The art of writing and solving codes.

Programming Language -> Mechine level -> Binary Codes

Anyone could modify and share it.

The communication that a computer uses, also known as a base-2 numeral system.
We group binary into 8 numbers or bits
A group of 8 bits referred to as a bites.
Each byte can store one character, and we can have 256 possible values thanks to the base-2 system
What does following translate to? 01101000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101100

Assing our binary values to characters, so that we as a human can read them. Ex. Emojis and their binary values

ASCII
The first character in the ASCII yo binary table — a lowercase a — maps to 01100001 in binary.
UTF-8
11110000:10011111:10011000:10000001 -> Laughing Emojis
Color pallets

Allow our transistors to do more complex tasks. like decide where to send electrical signal depending on logical conditions.

To take a relatively complex system and simplify it for our use. Ex. Engine, Car, Staring
