[00:00:00]Okay. So, now let's see how this basic idea gets translated into the digital world. Let's move on to section two and figure out how machines take these principles and use them to talk to each other.

[00:00:09]And this is where we get to the term data communication.

[00:00:13]The really key difference here is that we're shifting from human words to what we call data. That's just information that's been structured so machines can read it.

[00:00:22]And instead of using sound waves, computers use signals, like little pulses of electricity or light, to send this information back and forth.

[00:00:30]Now, how do those signals actually work?

[00:00:32]Well, computers speak a digital language. It's a language of ones and zeros, which really just represents simple states like on or off, charged or discharged.

[00:00:42]It's totally different from analog signals.

[00:00:44]Think of a dimmer switch for a light bulb, right? That's analog. It's a smooth, continuous wave of changing brightness.

[00:00:52]A digital signal is much simpler.
