Have you wonder what all the fuss is about digital technology? What is it anyway? Can we live without it?

This book is all about digital technology. It starts with the basics and how computers and digital systems operate.

"Digital technology has changed our world forever. It is probably the most revolutionary change in the history of mankind. Digital devices have entered into every facit of our lives from entertainment to carrying out daily chores such as cooking and cleaning. It has taken over the functions of our cars and our security. What were tasks carried out by hand, animals or the flick of a switch; is now done by digital technology devices and circuitry. Our world is full of touch-screens, touch-pads, keyboards and remote controls.

Not only has digital technology taken over the way we control, monitor and programme devices and equipment but it has also taken over the whole sphere of our entertainment. Television stations have converted their transmitters from traditional analogue systems to digital ones. "
